Please bring Obama out

We need someone like him to fire up the Democrats.I don't care about crowd size, but it seems to me, Trump people show up for him. I fear so much he will not be held accountable. I decided to stay away from politics. Should Obama get out there to help save our democracy or not?

Might it not draw attention to POTUS not "firing up the Democrats"?

My guess is that he will be active in specifically targeted races.

Is he being kept in storage somewhere?

Do you think Biden isn't "firing" up the Dems?
