In July 2016, [[Occupy Wall Street]] claimed that [[Barack Hussein Obama]] is a [[capitalist]], [[Zionist]] shill.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RTP9pXatUA</ref> It seems that the [[2020 Democrat primaries|2020 Democrats]] occupy the same position on the [[political spectrum]] as Occupy Wall Street. The primary field, which initially contained almost two dozen people, has been critical of Barack Hussein Obama due to a belief that his [[socialist]] policies did not go far enough.
The criticisms of Obama began prior to the second 2019 Democrat primary debates in July. According to [[The Daily Beast]], "Senator [[Bernie Sanders]]’ (I-VT) campaign has used Obama’s own words to challenge Biden’s notion that Obamacare simply needs to be built upon. Senator [[Kamala Harris]] (D-CA) challenged Biden over the Obama administration's deportation policies. Senator [[Cory Booker]] (D-N.J.) backed off support for the Obama administration’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal as originally written. And Governor [[Jay Inslee]] (D-WA) has attacked Biden for a naivete about dealing with Republicans—in what has been interpreted as an implicit rebuke of Obama’s own failure to fully grasp GOP recalcitrance."<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/2020-democrats-are-starting-to-turn-obamas-legacy-against-biden</ref> Then, during the second debates, various candidates attacked former President Barack Hussein Obama. According to [[Breitbart News]], the former President was criticized by [[Bill De Blasio]], [[Julian Castro]], [[Tulsi Gabbard]], and even [[Joe Biden]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/31/2020-dem-candidates-rip-barack-obama-record/</ref> [[USA Today]] claims they tried to "walk back" their criticisms, but they never reversed their statements.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/08/02/thanks-obama-2020-democrats-walk-back-criticisms-barack-obama/1907321001/</ref> When Obama fired back in November, calling the 2020 Democrats, "too far-left," they attacked him again. [[Bernie Sanders]] claimed that he's "not trying to tear down the system," [[Cory Booker]] said that Democrats should, "stop tearing each other down," and [[Julian Castro]] stated that the 2020 Democrats' "vision for the future of the country is much better and will be more popular than Donald Trump's."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/17/democratic-candidates-obama-warns-going-too-far-left</ref> However, in this case it should be noted that at least one member of the [[Alternative Influence Network]] has condemned Obama's remarks, noting that he is an [[establishment]] [[neoliberal]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHvtZTQob5g</ref>
It is illustrative of how far-left the 2020 Democrats are when Barack Hussein Obama is considered not a true progressive.<ref>https://freedomwire.com/democrats-turn-on-obama/</ref>
