Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

I like the game Bernie is talkin' but if he's gonna become president and implement the many things he's talked up, he's gonna at the very least need a Democratic congress behind him. With his supporters being millenials and millenials skipping the polls in the non-leap even years, he's gonna be stuck dealing with obstructionist Republicans.

Agreed, clearly Clinton has a much more energized base of supporters, as evidenced by her smashing success in the primary.

So let's assume for a moment that the election from here on plays out with Hillary being indicted by the FBI before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. The polls aren't radically off, there's no October surprise, no major terrorism incident, no dramatic economic collapse. Trump gets no traction outside his base and whites don't turn out in significantly larger numbers than last time. The Democratic base shows up on election day and finally elects a real Social Democrat into Office, Bernard 'Bernie' Sanders.

What do the next four years look like? I'm less interested in Bernard's specific policies, which I think we can reliably assume will be some mix of progressivism plus a lot of congressional gridlock and theatrics. I'm more interested in what happens to all the angry restive Shillaries and Trumpstaffel. The establishment faced a huge challenge this year, and was defeated by a Sanders campaign and an FBI investigation, but the Republican party would still be destroyed and have serious popular support for repealing NAFTA and other trade pacts. For the DNC, they would have lost due to a challenger from the Left; where do the washington-consensus factions from both parties go?

This is your thread to speculate wildly about just how much more insane the pressure cooker of American politics gets if both Trump and Hillary are shut out of power. Everyone's pissed, the economy is probably gonna fall off a cliff again, and Birdie Sanders is in the White House. What kind of bizare domestic political fallout can you imagine?

Put another way, if Trump doesn't win, then what lasting impact might he and Hillary leave on the system, if any? Does the Establishment switch up its playbook, do either of the parties try to tap this new found energy, do new political movements appear on the scene? A few years ago do we look back on this election as a turning point, or just a really weird and brief interruption to our regularly scheduled programming?

This thread is to somewhat discuss if we're all mentally prepared to allow Sanders to be president and what the gently caress that actually means for america

Sanders gives America a taste of what Venezuela is experiencing now, where the institution of Maduro is attempting to destroy all organized political opposition, and all institutions of opposition are attempting to degrade and destroy the institution of Maduro.

Bernie Sanders would be America's Caesar, but without the cool poo poo like being a loving awesome warhero who totes owned to the bones those Gauls and other tribal confederations.

Actually the real people in power are you, the American people, who get out of bed every day to go about your uninteresting lives for the sake of the rest of us who will make your community better.

Bernie Sanders may have the plant, but we have the power.

The Sanders Presidency will be perfectly preserved in the hopes and dreams of white millenials, an incorruptible beacon of what could have been if only the blacks and olds hadnt conspired to get secret Nazi Republican :shillary: KKKlinton elected instead. This Utopian Paradise will give them the strength to shirk civic duties and drop out of public policy issues for at least a decade, because everything bad will be Hillary's fault. It will also justify the already paternalistic views they had of those noisy blacks who are so easily bamboozled and frankly unfit to govern themselves.

The Sanders Presidency will be the perfect justification for all the things they already believed anyways, never sullied by the harsh light of reality.

It will be glorious.

The 1% and institutional investors liquidate enough stock into tax havens that the market takes a dive - the media narrative plays dumb about investor/consumer confidence while the White House tries to advance the narrative of the wealthy having a tantrum.

The people seriously engaged in class warfare want to goad the government into a trial of eminent domain vs. outrageous liquidity so the lapdog media can scream bloody murder about 'tyranny' and the end of freedom to acquire.

Last week Liberty Maniacs, a T-shirt company, was accused by a lawyer for the Sanders campaign of using Bernie's campaign logo in a disparaging way. The lawyer sent a cease and desist to Liberty Maniacs, and the dust-up got coverage on The Daily Beast and Washington Post.

The T-shirt design in question is here:



I was a bit put out by the obnoxious tone of the coverage this story received, and so, like any person with too much time on his hands, I got involved. This lead to an interesting back and forth between myself and the T-shirt maker's lawyer, who thinks this matter is a killer free speech issue. ENJOY!
