If Hillary wins the GE, which will be a real horse race with Trump at best, it will be 2024 until we get a chance to run a progressive for the WH again and that's only if Hillary loses after 4 years. If Hillary were to pull off a 2nd term 2028 will our first serious chance because we will not hold the WH for a 5th consecutive term. That simply will not happen.

We can't afford the risk a Hillary Presidency would bring. We can not afford to simply slow the plunge, we must reverse it. If we can't reverse it then we may very well be better off taking the plunge so the rest of the sheeple wake up and realize what we're doing.

What will I do in Nonmember if Bernie doesn't make it? I'm not sure either, but I know I'm tired of the difference between Republicans and Democrats in the WH just being how much the brakes are applied.
