2016 Postmortem

(1,250 posts)You guys have to get off of that party identification.
The party is a shell for a MOVEMENT.
If you just have the shell with no movement within it, it's EMPTY.
If modern day Democrats might as well be Republicans, then what are we voting for???
When modern day Democrats sell us out just like Republicans, then what are we voting for???
It's just a vehicle. It's just a car to get to a destination.
Without the driver, it's just a hunk of metal.
I say it all over my post history.
DEMOCRATIC are the cheerleading team.
UNDERGROUND are the heart & soul.
When the DEMOCRATIC machine goes off track those UNDERGROUND folks are there to fix it & reorient it so it goes the right way.
But if all we're getting is Rah-Rah from cheerleaders, you're gonna go off the cliff while you cheer.
The Democratic Party MUST. CHANGE. NOW.
Obama was supposed to do it & he didn't.
That's why nobody turned out in 2010 & 2014.
They're tired of this machine 'cause it doesn't work.
You got a guy who will empower the heart & soul back into this organization.
You got a guy who will fuel the machine better than ever before.
And you're ignoring him.
No, not you specifically. I mean Democrats in general.
If you don't pick Bernie this election, this coalition is going to die out & you won't get anything anymore.
Obama already started the realignment & Bernie will be the one to finish it.
With Bernie representing the party, the Republican coalition will disintegrate after we will defeat Donald Trump with ease.
Democrats will have the floor & we can finally roll back all of these destructive policies that have been plaguing us for decades.
But if you pick Hillary, Trump is guaranteed to defeat her & both the Democratic AND Republican Parties will disintegrate.
And it probably won't even matter because he's gonna Hitler this country.
We won't have to worry about Climate Change because we'll be dealing with World War III.
And it will be the war that makes World War IV be fought with sticks & stones in a charred apocalyptic wasteland.
2016 is an election of LIVE or DIE.
2016 is an election of BERNIE or TRUMP.
It's that real.
