If the Democrats lose, and I mean LOSE it all in 2016, who do you think they will blame?

34. who cares about accountability if the GOP runs the entire federal gov't?

that's like getting clean bedsheets for a known incontinent who has declared intentions to shit the bed.

if/when the Republicans win next November, what's left of our fragile system (infrastructure, ecology, national wealth) all gets scrapped or sold off, the middle class gets flushed so 99% of us can be wage slaves for the 1%, while the youth get sent off to our many ensuing wars.

what's the use of accountability in such a society? we'll be pretty much scraping up against the end of history, i don't think calling people to account is going to be particularly high priority.

the important thing is, going forward, how we can protect those who the Republicans will "hold accountable" for what they see as our various societal defects. racial and sexual minorities, undocumented immigrants and those who the White Enforcer Squads think might be here illegally, elderly and disabled victims of medicare & medicaid cuts, young people returning from the wars with PTSD and life changing injuries to a woefully underfunded VA: all these people will need assistance from those who care and can still afford to give it. it will be a very dark time for tens of millions of people.

and it won't be just 4 years, or 8, or 12. if they get it all, they'll keep it until it's broken beyond recognition.

accountability be damned, this is a must-win for us. or nothing matters anymore, including accountability.
