2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Will Never be President of the United States [View all]Amimnoch
(4,558 posts)I am open to seeing the light. I am onboard for seeing Bernie's plan come to life.
Where is the Senate and house that will make this happen?
Agreed that the Republicans are NOT going to be onboard with his plan?
He's laid out his plan, yet the Democrats that are in office have soundly rejected him endorsement wise.
In this 2016 election cycle, who are the Senators and Representatives HE endorses to get into office to make his plans happen??
Where is the revolution push to get those people who he needs to make his plan happen elected?
Are we not the people of intellect and reason? Isn't hyperbole, obfuscation, and pandering to the baser instincts rather than logic and reason supposed to be the tools or Republicans and teabaggers??
Teabaggers are not as smart as liberals and progressives.. of that I 100% believe in! But this Bernie revolution.. It's backwards! Teabag politics is bass ackwards, but their approach was the one thing about their movement that they did right. They didn't go after the presidency. The fielded Teabagger challenges to incumbent Representatives that didn't align with their agenda, they fielded teabagger challenges to incumbent Senators that didn't align with their agenda. For all of the dumbasses in their masses, the one thing they did very successfully was move the Congress far to the right.
THAT's what we need to do if we want the changes Bernie proposes. Making him President without expanding this movement is setting that man up for severe failure.
