In reply to the discussion: President Barack Obama Backs Expanding Social Security [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)Dems would have a super majority in both Houses of Congress right now.
Instead, they held the Third Way line, and now we're fucked unless Bernie Sanders is nominated and elected POTUS, which will cause us to regain and expand the huge Democratic majority we lost in 2010 because of Third Way pandering to the corporate 1% at the expense of the 99%. Yes, it's nice that the President acknowledges the blatant fact that SS desperately needs to be expanded a few months before leaving office...but, like, woop-dee-doo, ya know?
What's Clinton gonna do if she's elected? She's not trusted or popular enough to ever help increase the number of down ticket Dems in congress. If she's elected, we'll have a huge republican congress for the next 4 years, with no hope of increasing Dem numbers in congress.
Only Bernie Sanders can bring back a Dem majority to congress, and in a big way.
