In comparison to that, I’d say Obama delivered on the hope and change.
That’s not how that works. Either he delivered on hope and change or he didn’t; there’s no “in comparison.”
but why are people still talking about him at all?
Because libs will gladly lap up/force on everyone else another Obama (see how they talk about Newsom). It’s important to remember the failures of the past so that when corporate lizards and their party hacks pretend another establishment liberal will change things they’re not taken seriously.
We need to be looking forward
This “looking forward” schtick only means that known bad faith actors can keep influencing politics. It’s simply a bad idea.
Obama would be in the correct direction.
Absolutely not. Obama was and remains an establishment stooge whose job is to stifle progress wherever it can be found. Obama rode a wave of progressive resurgence and killed it; he shares only slightly less of the blame for the current situation than people like Bush and Reagan. Incremental change through the likes of Obama is a myth built on the assumption that reactionaries won’t reverse every bit of change made and more.
