(42,641 posts)Instead of a Cabinet made up of climate deniers and predatory capitalists, who would Clinton have picked? That could be an interesting exercise.
In a parliamentary system of course, Clinton would have picked a shadow Cabinet.

(42,641 posts)But a shadow Cabinet at least allows a voter to see what an alternative could look like.

(113,582 posts)with hope and optimism, not dread and dismay. we wouldn't be numb with disgust at yet the latest bs coming from the orange foolius or his people. we wouldn't need to be explaining to our friends overseas how in the hell this utterly incompetent, disgusting pretend human is about to sully the people's house.

I feel doom and gloom everyday and my future feels like I know dread is coming. I am usually an optimistic person and hate feeling so pessimistic.

(11,578 posts)Hillary won nearly million more votes than the other guy. In most countries, she would be president-elect. In the U. S., her victory gets swept under the rug, like so many women's accomplishments.

(13,062 posts)the "what we can do" to fight this illegitimate presidency about to befall our great nation. Hillary is still the first female POTUS in my mind whose presidency was stolen by the most horrific man and his ilk. The election is over, and this is isn't time to sulk. We need to band together and FIGHT!

(6,994 posts)republicans....I am convinced there is a strong possibility that we could in fact have a Nazi elected as long as that candidate had an R in front of their name...
Keep in mind Hitler was appointed and never elected...
Free elections as we once knew are just a thing for the History books unless Democrats in Congress actually lose that yellow streak......

Now it won't.

(53,410 posts)Hillary is from the Democratic Party that's been running since her husband took office. And before you think I'm being critical or nasty let me tell you that it would be infinitely better for this country if she had won.
On the other hand, I'm a Progressive. I want to see issues like Climate Change, mitigating world hunger and peace being issues to actively work towards.

(4,157 posts)It hasn't even started.
I was just down to visit my parents recently, and they're liberal, but their goddamned friends are all homophobic tRump supporters. That is the LAST time I'll go to my parents'. . . .EVER. They don't get it. They don't understand why I have an issue with homophobes & tRump supporters, and they just don't get why I don't want to be around them. . . "You only have to be around them for one evening!"
Well. . . Even ONE second is too much when we're talking about mother fuckers who want to take my rights, my friends' rights, and my community's rights away.
This time I'm holding my ground. I have ZERO tolerance for these people, and I don't ever plan on being in the same room with them again. I am done.
