What Will DU Look Like After the Election?

[Cary]

Assuming President Obama wins re-election, are we fighting with each other or are we pretty much getting along and working toward common goals?

[MrScorpio]

1. Rainbows and unicorns, baby!

Rainbows and unicorns!

[geardaddy]

17. Not pink unicorns!

DU is for blue unicorns!

[Speck Tater]

2. White background. Blue lettering. Tabs across the top for "Home", "Latest"...

My guess is it will look about the same.

[Panasonic]

3. Pretty much the same.

either we whine or celebrate.. DU will just truck along...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

4. First, we're going to wake up naked and hung-over (nt)

[LiberalLoner]

20. +1

[dawg]

5. It will be time to "discuss" the fiscal cliff and Simpson-Bowels.

But let's wait a week for that and savor the victory first.

[lastlib]

25. I want no part of discussing Alan Simpson's bowels, thank you!

EWWW-wwwwwwwww! **BRAIN BLEEEACH!!!**

[dawg]

28. Sorry for the horrible image.

The misspelling was intentional.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

6. We will continue to fight (argue, discuss) with each other.

A lot of the issues aren't going to be decided by an election. In terms of the Gungeon, or Meta, or a few other hotspots, the election is sort of irrelevant.

It didn't change much after the 2008 election. It did quiet down after the 2008 primary was decided, that was more contentious than the general.

[Champion Jack]

7. Well, there will probably be a LOT less concern trolls...

[Cary]

13. What, pray tell, are "concern trolls?" n/t

[Champion Jack]

24. You know the type...

The doom and gloom, sky is falling, low post count people who seem to pop up everywhere wringing their hands and moaning "this is horrible Obamas gonna lose ...blah blah blah"

[Recursion]

8. Oh, sorry, this is Abuse! You want room 12A, down the hall (nt)

[AtomicKitten]

9. something like this ...

... over 2016

[ornotna]

10. I would think the place would look like this

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. We will immediately begin to tear ourselves apart over potential 2016 canididates.

Ahh...does anyone miss the good old days of the 2008 primary?

Anyone?

[justiceischeap]

12. And those of us holding back our complaints of the President for the sake of the election

will let them fly.

[Cary]

18. You're hinting at what I was really asking about.

I know I'm naive but it would nice if we could address this in a more functional way than we have in the past.

[pwb]

14. Intelligent conversation,

Keeping track of congress. Laughing at Republican stupidity. Normal stuff.

[montanto]

15. A few days of exultation, then ponylessness sets in.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. Empty Champagne bottles everywhere, and LynnSin passed out in a pink bunny suit.

No offense, LynnSin. I still chuckle when I recall that bet!

Seriously, we'll ride the high for a few days and get back to the way we were before we hit election mode.

[Aristus]

19. We still have some sweet and wonderful people here, but after 2008,

most of the party animals left...

[ProudProgressiveNow]

21. After the win....

[kentuck]

22. Different...

Just a guess.

[Cary]

27. Probably the only real answer. n/t

[ruffburr]

23. Might I pose a thought-

Personally I've decided that i will spend the next 4 yrs campaigning for electoral reform , Upping penalty's for fraud developing a single fool proof voting system and ending citizens united, I'll take all the help I can get, Just because we win this doesn't mean that it should be (to borrow ann R's phrase) this hard to get an honest election in the 21st century

[Cary]

26. I suggest a Constitutional Amendment

Do away with the Electoral College. The federal government, and only the federal government, owns all of the voting machines. Voting procedures are standardized and regulated by the federal government.

Campaign contributions are bribery and thus illegal. All campaigns are publicly financed, period, end of story.

[ananda]

29. Democratic Overground!
