A bird lands on Bernie's shoulder as he takes the podium. He speaks clearly into the microphone, the crowd hushed. "As my first act as president of the Burlingon Zoo, I declair the apiary open to all!"

The appointment of Sanders will result in the healing of that great rift that has split our nation in two, and finally the US and Canada can merge into one nation once more, ruled over by our beloved Queen.

Also I guess the chicken will be better once Sanders obtains a position in the military.

besides, there are at least some goons unironically posting in defense of every candidate still in the race except Cruz and Kasich

Hmmm. A sanders presidency... I wonder what that would be like? That would be like? That would be like.... be.... like...

*hazy dream sequence begins*

Cut to newly elected President, Bernie Sanders as he takes the oath of office on a copy of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. "As president of the united states, I swear to protect and serve the people of America who aren't the millionah and billionah class!", and then the whole crowd cheers and twin turkeys named Lenin and Trotsky fly up onto the stage as Bernie Sanders walks off to his motorcade, a 1997 Toyota Corolla with 200,000 miles and 4 used tires. Ringed by his secret service entourage (all riding on fixie bikes) he drives into one of the worst neighborhoods in DC and pulls up to a white, single-story bungalow with a security fence ringed by armed secret service agents. Taking a seat at the new presidential desk he purchased second-hand at goodwill, he signs his first executive order into law, broadcast live to the nation. With a stroke of his pen, he stands up and declares, "Congress is outlawed!"

Even the media is cheering now. They lift Bernie up onto their shoulders and carry him out into the streets! Meanwhile, the secret service raids the homes and businesses of everyone in Congress, it'll be like that scene from the end of The Godfather where he is getting his house in order by killing all of his rivals. They carry him to the capitol building where he gives an address to a completely empty room, signing bill after bill under a voice vote of him and Vice President Killer Mike alone. All college debt is wiped out! Minimum wage is raised to a hundred dollars an hour! Killing people who make more than 1 million 400,000 100,000 45,000 dollars a year is now legal! Free college and healthcare for all! Every bank and business is nationalized! A free gun is issued to every man, woman and child in America! And a golden age of prosperity begins, with Sanders as president for life, kept alive indefinitely on stem cell and organ donations from the top tenth of one percent of Americans.

Dude, I live in this shithole. Secular values are being slowly but surely pushed out of the mainstream with tradition and "jewish values" taking their place. That whole secular western democracy with total acceptance of the LGBT community bit is what people like to pretend is going on and how the usual sales pitch to foreigners goes, but it doesn't hold outside the bubble that is Tel Aviv.

Actually, there's this thing called horseshoe theory so once you wind up going far enough left, you wrap back around to being identical to the far right. So really full communism now and full facism now is the same exact thing. And this all fits perfectly back to an Umberto Eco quote about faci :kheldragar:

Realtalk though: Bernie comes in, is unable to institute most of what he campaigned on. His coalition of populist whites and progressive left become disenchanted as the trade deficit grows, illegal immigration continues, college loan debt goes unforgiven, weed is not decriminalized nationally, and we continue drone strikes and bombing campaigns internationally. The coalition fractures with the urban poor and immigrants being the scapegoat for the populist crowd and Bernie the scapegoat for the progressive left because Progressives cannot fail, they can only be failed. Bernie will inevitably hire or appoint someone who is tied to Big [industry] or who cashes out and goes to work for them after, proof he just wasn't left enough.

Also Tad or Weaver will be involved in at least one major scandal because they cannot avoid stepping on their dicks.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

How long will it take for Sanders to settle in? 2 days
Will Hillary committ suicide? Yes
Total DNC civillian deaths: 500 dead
Total Wall Street deaths: 3000 dead
Will Glass-Steagall be reauthorized? Yes
Will hospital wait times grow? Yes
Will support for Israeli occupation end? Yes
Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes
Will Assad launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes
Will Assad launch attacks on Israel? No
Will Obama sacrifice Washington (gas/nuke it)? No
Will the South make a grab for independence? Yes
Will Mexico do anything silly like try for land? Yes
Will Hillary burn the DNC? Yes
How long will the Bernie be occupying DC? Until Full Communism happens
Will the election catalyze increased shootings in America? Yes
In the long run, will this be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those DNC/Wall Street casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A banker walking down the street to get a final laugh at the local soup kitchen before he knows he'll be going gets killed by fall into an open sewer hole

2) Debbie Wasserman Schultz ODs on percocet because she lives in FL

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since Bernie is about peace & love means they're very small in number!

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the DNC & Wall Street that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the impending casualties from Full Commnism. I'm a civilian and volunteer for Bernie, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.
