But I think a previous poster got it right, you are very much trying to convince yourself not anyone else. It's a fúcking train crash reading your posts.

And I must admit I don't see many articles coming through my feeds from Reuters. Many from both domestic Left and Right news agencies but not much from Reuters.

The Obama’s are still ticked at the low Democrat turnout in 2016. They still think turnout should have been tremendous because of how Barack attempted to lurch the country to the Left for them and he hand-picked Hillary Clinton to continue his legacy... the one denied him by those evil Republicans. They can’t get it through their thick skulls that Obama’s massive failures as president turned off many moderate democrats and middle America Dems. Obama is the main culprit for opening the door to a Trump presidency. The Obama’s think the people betrayed them.
