(7,231 posts)You want us on the board? Then you better get used to our dissatisfaction with the status quo. I'll keep silent in between the primaries and the GE (IF, and that is a big if) Clinton ends up as the Dem nominee, but from day one of the presidency, I'll bitch about the status quo.

(8,700 posts)It will be the next step forward for the corporate oligarchy. Income inequality will become worse. Unions will fall apart. Marginally employed people with no rights at work will become the norm.
Wall ST will be dancing in the street.
Perpetual conflict will continue. Starting a conflict with Russia is not out of the question if she starts her unilateral no-fly zone in Syria.
Sounds like fun.

(5,279 posts)Whoever gets the office of POTUS should be, needs to be, constantly monitored. It is our job as citizens to keep a watchful eye on the hired help.
That whole "right to petition the government for redress of grievances" thing. The one the M$M keeps talking us away from.
I take my duties seriously. Both selecting the best suited and job critique.

(3,411 posts)You really think Bernie would just pack his bags and go home if he loses the nomination?
Did the Tea Party pack their bags and go home even though they didn't win many elections at first? They are now the driving force of the party insurrection.

(2,346 posts)the Hillary supporters that if she wins they had better not complain about the bleedin status quo since they were the ones who enabled it despite having been warned vigourously?
Least that was my impression of it.

(12,769 posts)Not the 80 - 90 percent here that have done everything possible to ensure that doesn't happen.
I know I won't hear from the other side since most of them are going on ignore the day the primaries are over regardless of who wins.

(11,175 posts)I had disagreements with Obama the day I voted for him -- more in 2012 than in 2008, but either way, voting for the winning candidate doesn't bar me from complaining.

(54,405 posts)To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Of course, from many posts I see, starting January 20, 2017, that statement would be, in the words of Nixon's press secretary, "inoperative."

(841 posts)On Facebook and Huff Post I can continually rebut the nonsense of Hillary supporters. And their supporters can rebut me. It's called "debate".
But not here on DU. Here participants are permanently divided into pro-Bernie-only and pro-Hillary-only factions early on from the get-go simply on the basis of a few people's opinions of their posts. DU is only for political sissies.
So I rarely post here any more. I now go where the grown-ups go.

(1,290 posts)and Bernie starts to campaign for and with Hillary. Bernie understands the big picture and realizes that he has helped to move the pendulum a great deal on its progressive movement left and regardless who the Dem nominee is (most likely if it is not him it is HIllary), America will be better off with that nominee than anyone who the Right has selected. Bernie will help the Dems take back the Senate, pick up seats in the House and while working with Hillary the Dems will keep the White House and in 2020 we will see where we are at.

(45,984 posts)I'll still feel the same about corruption, oligarchy and corporate crime as I do now.
If you don't want me to complain about the status quo, then maybe Hillary should surprise me and do something about it. She hasn't given me any reason to hope for change so far.
