After the election, we must not relax.

Instead, we have to put our shoulders down and push in the direction we want to go. Only by doing that together can we overcome the inertia of this vast and unstable nation and start it moving more to the left. It's a difficult, stubborn load to maneuver.

The battle isn't won on November 9. It's just beginning. Hillary Clinton can't do the job alone. She's going to need us all to apply pressure to set the direction we go in.

Vote! Then, get ready to push as hard as you can. The other side will be pushing, as well. We have to overpower that side if we're going to gain momentum.

The work begins anew on November 9. That's the beginning, not the end, of the struggle.

1. There could be an underground, McVeigh type terrorist organization growing after Trump loses.

Trump has sounded the alarm and has begun to legitimize the mad extremists of the Alt-right.
So you're correct.
Things could become very un-American in the name of flag waving, gun toting, white worshiping "patriots".

The election will probably be only the beginning.

7. Then they will face the full force and power of the American judicial system.

And if they actually kill or maim anybody, I hope they are locked up for life.

[MineralMan]

8. That's what the FBI is for.

With a Democratic administration, they can deal with that.

2. Unfortunately

We all know what will probably happen. I have seen it play out twice, once in 1994 and another in 2010.

The right wing will be angry for 2 years criticizing everything that Clinton does. Democratic senators and congressman up for reelection will try to distance themselves from Clinton trying to appease voters who aren't going to vote for then no matter how much they try to act like Republicans. Their base will be fired up and vote in droves in 2018 while a lot of democratic voters stay home.

3. Unfortunately, I think you're right. She has

two years, and only if dems win both houses of congress. If only the Senate goes dem, at least the SCOTUS should be saved.

[Kablooie]

5. I just read that the GOP plans to refuse to confirm any justices

so the court would probably shrink to 7 members with conservatives as a majority.

Even if the Dems take the Senate the Republican members could filibuster and prevent any vote from occurring.

It seems this should be illegal but apparently it's not.

6. Even if the Dems win both houses

They can't act timid and try to become Republican-Lite. That is what happened during president Obama's first two years.

12. And look what it got us

Even with the compromise of leaving out the public option, even though most people like it, they've spent 7 years trying to get rid of Obamacare. We can't sit on our political hands and hope that they'll like us. Pass some solid laws that will make real changes and fight like hell in 2018.

13. Agree

14. K&R nt

[MineralMan]

10. Then we need to help keep that

from happening. I'm in. How about you?

[rug]

4. I was hoping to take Wednesdays off.

[MineralMan]

9. You go right ahead, rug.

Take as much time off as you think best.

[okaawhatever]

11. Absolutely. I've only just begun nt

[oasis]

15. Witch hunters still gonna hate.

16. Absolutely True.. "Hillary Clinton can't do the job alone.."

Another great point.

"Instead, we have to put our shoulders down and push in the direction we want to go. Only by doing that together can we overcome the inertia of this vast and unstable nation and start it moving more to the left. It's a difficult, stubborn load to maneuver."

I need to say this. It won't be easy. Pushing as hard as we can, after this incredible election cycle will not be easy..but, I will do the best that I can do. That is all I can do.

17. A big problem our coalition has....

is that we pack up our tents 'til the next Presidential election. We need to be a constant force, and ESPECIALLY we need to show up at the mid-terms.
