bernie didnt vote for the iraq war and hadnt been investigated by highly public gop committees for years prior to the election, aka big things that helped trump portray her as a corrupt part of the establishment.

AShamefulDisplay posted:So Sanders is an established dem politician by that logic. The only things he regularly disagrees with dems on are guns and foreign policy. There are many dems who agree with him on those issues. Several of which were often derided in DnD as blue dogs. It's hard to find a position with which Clinton didn't agree at one point or another.

He was the pragmatic choice, unlike the supposed pragmatic strategy of choosing a hated status quo shill.

Looking at this from the cold light of the morning, setting aside the shock and despair and the casting of blame, setting aside our fears about what will happen, what do we do now? Not "what do we do to prepare for 2020" or "what do we do to fight back in the midterms," but what do we do now? I'm trying to think of ways to mitigate the damage or help the people who will be hurt or even just cope with it psychologically, but I'm coming up empty.

Better that than actively working on his "New Age Of Darkness" policies. Hillary can still serve her country, by distracting Trump as he enacts his revenge on her.

The best answer really is to throw the old establishment on the pyre. Feed the beast. Sate it with conviction after conviction, give him enemies to waste his time and effort putting into prison.

I'm trying to think of ways to mitigate the damage or help the people who will be hurt or even just cope with it psychologically, but I'm coming up empty. As for helping the people who will be hurt, the most direct way is to look out around your own social matrices and see where you can help people out at all. I spent a lot of the later evening basically hitting up everyone I saw who I was close to and telling them I loved them, if sometimes in the ol' Louis Armstrong sense. Because I do and I did. A little of it was of course suicide prevention, but a lot of it was because I wanted to make that clear to them. I haven't lost hope for the future. I'm hoping Obama is going to help clean up the Democratic Party and lead them into the future.

Get in a union, get involved in demonstrations and strikes.

Crowsbeak posted:Organize, also as Cali, MA just legalized MJ I think its time to push the dems to make it a major policy goal to stop its prohibition. Likewise as Trump is certainly going to let Guiliani try to shut down pot sellers its time to start organizing over that banner we stopped waving in 2009, states rights. Meanwhile organize with BLM, be ready to organize against the Order of Thugs seeing this as a way to go whole hog on their murder sprees. Finally, continue to push for the fight for 15. The future is theirs only if you let the sociopaths win. Also maybe start considering why the second is so important and consider Trump could be a buchanon. So I don't think the South is gonna secede unless they actually do reinstate for-real, original-recipe slavery (which seems implausible) or find some other distinguishing underlying economic bullshit.

steinrokkan posted:lol Dawg are you even reading my posts? I agree with you. It's just the fact that bernie would at best have a hostile Congress (same situation as if Hillary had won) means that Bernie supporters would be engaging in nothing more than navel gazing at a sham social democracy. Materially it wouldn't make a loving difference. Except now we live in the reality were trump wins, and if you think that Bernie's polling better back in loving June means he would have won is just as loving dumb as all the people itt and in past uspol threads saying that a Trump win was impossible.

I suspect John Roberts is going to be at least something of a steering brake for immediate giant court-pack shenanigans, since he seems to actually give a poo poo about the legitimacy of the SCOTUS. He knows well, I'm sure, that the institution is not nearly as fixed as others, and if Donald Trump packs it up to 13 in order to rubber-stamp repealing an entire conservative wish-list, it is not impossible that the inevitable waning of Republican power - whether to the Democrats, the Neo-Progressives, the Zeonic Front, or the US military deciding to progress down the Rome timeline - leads to the dissolution of the Supreme Court, as presently constituted.
