2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think it's fantastic, that we have such an awesome candidate to represent us.
Intelligent, classy, and kick ass strong.
They have a freaking psychopath.
This election is a no-brainer.
GOTV. The Democratic Party is once again the cool, rational, intelligent, and ready to get stuff done party.
The other parties? bleh!

(10,893 posts)reasonable choice this year. She's up against a trio of clowns, and is the only candidate who has realistic plans for keeping this country on the correct path. Donald "Cinnamon Mussolini" Trump is an under-qualified candidate with foot-in-mouth disease, Gary Johnson wants to fool people into thinking that he'd really incorporate "the best policies from both parties" and he wants to use weed to hook people around my age, and Jill Stein is fits the definition of an opportunist and lacks a practical agenda that would help the working-class and is a bad messenger for environmentalism.

(57,192 posts)The 2000 election was a no-brainer, too. The no-brains won it (OK, not really, but they came close enough to steal it, and they shouldn't have been anywhere near that).
Remember the legend of Adlai Stevenson from the 1950s, when a woman supposedly shouted at him "You have the support of every thinking American!" Stevenson's reply: "That's not enough. I need a majority!"
Stevenson lost twice, as you will recall.............

(3,284 posts)I'm sure she'll come thru for Progressives this time, and will prove the skeptics wrong by working super-hard
to be a true Progressive President---Far more Progressive than Bill ever was.
It's going to be fun watching her stand up to the bankers like Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein and
persuade them that they MUST pay higher tax rates, and face new restrictions on some of their riskiest activities.
Hillary has the toughness, smarts, experience and resolve to do this better than anyone else on the US political scene.
And she WILL.
I expect Hillary to be the most progressive president since FDR, and to work tirelessly for the needs
of working people all over the US.
When she tells those big, greedy corporate donors to finally suck-it-up and make
some sacrifices for the majority of the American People, it will be a history-turning moment
for the country, and the Democratic Party, which will be reborn and re-invigorated.
I take her at her word, and I am counting on her to do these things.
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll vote for her, but I expect disappointment. I want national, single-payer health insurance, further subsidized college tuition, raise taxes on the top 20%, change the tax cap on SS to $250k, two progressive supremes, a new Glass-Steagall and repeal of Citizens United and the Telecommunications Act.
Shouldn't be a problem with a democratic let congress, right?
