(5,811 posts)supporters are so locked into their rage, they're willing to blow up the United States government and start a race war because they didn't get their preferred candidate. This is waht we get with a TRUMP presidency and a GOP controlled Congress and SCOTUS. And not only do you end up with foreign governments calling in their loans, you have foreign nations invading this country to protect their monetary interests because we are still the global currency.
DWS is a piece of work and I'm saying that as a HRC supporter. She gave PBO grief too. i think we need to work together to get the Congress we want to pass a progressive policy agenda. You will not get everything you want but we could definitely overturn Citizens United, pass the AMERICAN JOBS ACT (infrastructure bill), pass immigration reform, get free community college, expand healthcare coverage, reestablish funding levels for PP. and reinstate parts of the VOTING RIGHTS ACT stricken by the SCOTUS.
it's not a perfect world but it won't be a TRUMP world, which is far more dangerous and unpredictable than anything we've imagined.
