Are Democrats better off losing the presidency in 2016?

[Major Hogwash]

45. We, the people, cannot afford to lose in 2016!!!

And since we live in the short term, there is no sense in thinking about our goals from a long-term point of view.
May as well say, "well, in a 100 years, it won't matter".
But it does, people are dying and starving to death today because of Republican obstruction to improving the safety nets.

Did you know that some historians have begun referring to the years from 2001 to 2010 as the "lost decade" because of all of the shit that happened when Dubya was President?
Psychologists and sociologists have said that the generation most affected by it were the kids coming out of college at the time, their lives were frozen in time.
That is one reason women are waiting longer to get married, and/or to have babies . . . fear of an uncertain future!

Then there is the Iraq War with all the kids between 28 and 18 joining the military . . . and for what?
One of the major reasons 22 veterans commit suicide each day!
The scars haven't even healed over yet for that generation.
They are the ones that paid the heaviest price.

Since the Republicans seem so gung ho on starting yet another war with Iran, we cannot afford to let some Tea Party-influenced asshole in to the White House.
We suffered 8 years of Dubya Bush, and there is no way this country can step back in time again.
No way!
