I've not thought about this yet: What's DU going to be like after we win this election?

[Obamarama]

This has been my place to bitch and moan and vilify the Resmuglicans for the last FIVE YEARS. Now that it looks like the cretins are going to be sent down river after tomorrow, what will become of this place?

I also wonder what it's going to be like for the first time in 8 years not to have to waste energy thinking about the sinister administration. All that negative energy will now be able to be channeled into positive avenues.

YEAH!

[Patsy Stone]

1. It's going to be amazing!

We will use our power to do good instead of fight evil. Not that we won't have to fight evil, but there will be a lot less of it.

[Faygo Kid]

2. Football pools and recipe sharing.

Just kidding!

Although it will be great to be rid of the criminal Bush Administration. I joined in 2002, so I don't know life at DU without Bush.

Looking forward to it, though.

[buff2]

3. I imagine we will have to battle

the Freeptards who will troll this site worse than ever. It's going to be a mess.

[KamaAina]

4. Faster

but less pizza. :P

[krumpli]

5. We will bash President Obama for not being

whatever enough.

You know that's what DUer do best.

[Obamarama]

8. Speaking of pizza, Mr./Ms. Just Joined DU on November 3, 2008, why dontcha have a slice or two...

RIP, Moran.

[snappyturtle]

13. Really? Been lurking long? I like my pizza with a crispy crust. nt

[barbtries]

6. i'll probably migrate

to the anti-war and 911 truth forums...but i'll be here.

in all seriousness, i think that the way things are demands that every citizen be engaged from here on out, and i plan to be. it's my children and my grandchildren and their children for whom i will do this. there's a lot of wrong to make right. justice to pursue. and there will still be conservative idiots, there has to be, right?

[uppityperson]

7. We will have to continue on the cases of the Democrats.

No, they won't do as much as we want, as fast as we want. Yes, they will play politics. So, we can coordinate and cooperate in working to help them help us.

[tridim]

10. Utopian chaos.

[Fuzz]

11. Immediately after? Down because of too much traffic.

;)

[roamer65]

12. I will not let up on the Moron at all, even after January 20th.

I really, REALLY want to see him tried for war crimes and/or murder.

[madokie]

15. So do I

[Babette]

14. DU is still an important meeting place

There are plenty of people stuck in red states who will need support. There will be plenty of Republicans left in office for us to discuss. There will be plenty of Bush policies we can talk about doing away with. DU is a Dem think tank. Conservative think tanks don't go out of business when they have power. They gear up and produce position papers for government. They influence legislation and policy. Maybe that's our next step.

[malaise]

16. We continue to expose the Bushco criminals

until they are punished.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Can I haz front row seat for the war crimes??

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[CrispyQ]

17. We'll have to have an opportunity to change screen names, since

there are several DUers with screen names based on boosh & his administration. Time for a fresh start!

;)

[Olney Blue]

18. More cats

[Obamarama]

26. NO...NO MORE CATS!

Well, I guess it's okay if you restrict it to the lounge...and then only on Caturday! :-)

[TygrBright]

19. We're gonna bitch and moan and vilify EVERYBODY now. It'll be equal opportunity kvetching.

Some will be vilifying the Democratic Administration for not being liberal enough, not moving fast enough on their pet issues, caving to "Dems in Congress," etc.

Some will be vilifying the Democratic-controlled Congress for not being liberal enough, not moving fast enough on their pet issues, caving to the "centrist Dem Administration," etc.

Some will be vilifying the Democratic Administration for being too liberal, for blowing the chance to get moderate GOPpies on board, for bucking Congressional leadership, etc.

Some will be vilifying the Democratic-controlled Congress for being too liberal, for alienating the moderate vote and blowing 2010-- in which you can bet we will lose some seats, no matter what-- for bucking Administration leadership, etc.

A few will be vilifying various GOPpies, especially the Supremos.

EVERYONE will be vilifying the RW nutbags and woolhats and carpers and grinders and suchlike.

Don't worry.

We're Dems.

Nothing will change, really.

helpfully,
Bright

[Regret My New Name]

21. hah! The same...

At least in the latest breaking news section. Even people who agree will always find reasons to disagree with each other. :P
Plus there will always be the gun issues, hunting, meat/tree eating, smoking, and whatever else that are always very divisive issues even amongst progressives. Oh, and there are some who think that Obama is not liberal enough or that he was somehow created by the republicans(not too sure how common this is, but I've seen various variations of this at various points...although I'm assuming fairly rare)... And until Operation Twinkle Toes is fully completed, there are still going to be republicans roaming around the streets. So we'll still have them to shakes our fists in anger at. :P

Ohhh, and I'm sure some republicans will be working hard trying to come up with ways to impeach Obama for masturbating in the oval shower or something...

[cliffordu]

22. I'll be living with the crickets...... I'll have to go back to rolling drunks and cattle.

Not robbing them. Literally rolling them over. Not as much fun as baiting freepers here, but it's something to do to pass the time....

[zbdent]

23. I'd be gearing up for the real fight ...

ya think it's going to be any easier???

It's going to be exponentially worse ... and a lot of infighting here will let the Righties laugh at us.

Remember when people were saying here that Obama was getting an easier time? Once it was set to be him, the media took off what gloves they had ...

Now, with a win tomorrow (especially with a landslide win, E.C. AND popular), the media will be really nasty ... and if Obama hasn't turned around the recession and erased the deficit and singlehandedly caught Osama bin Laden and brought him into custody - BEFORE 1/20/2009 - they're going to go for the jugular ...

[elocs]

24. Back to trashing the Dems in Congress for being spineless and not jumping through our hoops. n/t

[Phred42]

25. There are a lot of BlueDogs and DLC that must be replaced with Progressives

Despite Reich-wing the BS Obama is NOT all that progressive or Liberal - he will need to be pushed in the correct direction

[Samantha]

27. We will all spend a lot of time having to defend President Barack Obama

The Republicans will lose, but they will not change. Think about the reception they gave Bill Clinton as he walked into the Oval Office after defeating George H.W. Bush*. Republicans are "experienced" at putting out the "welcome mat" to Dems who defeat Republicans, and THEY WILL BE AFTER BARACK OBAMA. Not all Republicans, just the hard core tried and true who will constantly try to antagonize him. Barack Obama will need all the support he can get from us throughout his terms. Biden, as well.
