2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo you think Obama has been obstructed? You ain't seen nothin yet.
It will be obstruction on steroids if the Clintons are back in the Whitehouse.
The only things that would get quietly done are things for the 1%. Anything for the people - not a chance (though she will tearfully say how sorry she is as she is happily left off the hook).

(19,326 posts).. I like how Bernie re-framed that tonight in Chicago .. i.e. all bets are off .. business as usual has

(5,614 posts)amazing army of supporters but he torpedoed himself by basically sending them home instead of keeping them in the field and fighting to displace the GOPukes and TeaParty people from their hold on Congress.
I remember a lot of posters even here reposting that idea of him telling us that "I got this."
He tried to be a statesman and, well, you can see how that worked out. All the good that he accomplished was only a fraction of what he could have achieved if the GOPukes hadn't determined on Day One to make him a one term president.
Sanders won't make that mistake. His slogan would be "WE got this."

Sanders is running because Obama gave away the store and then fingerwagged the voters for expecting too much--"he doesn't have a magic wand" said the same guys who said "he'll have a magic wand and make all your dreams come true" a year before
