Focus on "Obama Legacy" over policy effect on people.

I'm one of the proud 3 percent in the Democratic Party that doesn't support Obama.That being said during the 2020 Dem Primary any comment critical of a Obama policy was characterised with shrieking by Media as "attack on Obama legacy. The candidates barely "went after Obama" in the debate. They brought up two instances of disagreement in 2 and a half hours of debate. They went after Biden much more, but he and the media are used Obama as a shield. The disagreements with Obama era Policies are not about Obama. It isn't about him. It's about the immigrants that will are deported and criminalized and detained. It's about the people who will die without healthcare or go bankrupt just to pay for it. So again, it's not about Obama. It's about the people affected by specific policies. Why do people want to make policy disagreements all about a person? or about themselves? The fact that people haven't pointed out how the media is more concerned with an elected official's legacy versus the people affected by specified policies means they are fixated on the wrong thing and it isn't the people.
