But we also are informed enough to know that after she gets elected, Hillary might make us very sad
by doing things like supporting fracking, changing her mind back on TTP,
and following the Neocons' lead into a war with Russia.
I will confess,
after I give her my vote, if she does those above things and doesn't at least ***fight*** hard
for Progressive change,
I, and the other Bernie-people who gave her our votes, in trust, may end up forcing a crisis for the party,
because we will threaten to leave.
I pray that does not happen.
I pray we are not betrayed by Hillary and the mainstream Party after (we help her win) the election.
The way I see it, the real crisis for the Democratic Party could be after Hillary wins the election
(assuming she does).
If the Democratic Party violates the trust given them by the millions of Bernie-folks
who voted for her, by going bigtime Neoliberal ib her direction
after the election, the big loser will be the Democratic Party.
In that case, and at that time, the Party will have to choose between
its Progressive wing and the corporatists.
That's not a threat.
It's what will happen if President Hillary does not push hard, post-election, for the Progressive agenda.
Not expecting her to win everything---Just to try sincerely HARD.
But don't worry----The above scenario will only happen if Hillary drops the Progressive ball after the election.
So it really is up to her.
