If Bernie is elected he will not ever have the support of Congress to do much of anything. He will lose the Congress his second year and then we are fucked again. MFA is DOA.
I don't know if that's a certainty. If he keeps going like he currently is even after having won yeah. But my guess is that the impeachment hearings and the impeach trail right off the bat will change the political landscape of america. To what degree...i don't know but i do know that it will contribute to at the very least some republicans and conservatives losing seats.
Which in my eyes will signal to republicans and conservatives in office that they should fear something other than republicans and conservatives.
As far as i can tell bernie has already taken over the democratic party. People like hillary clinton and barack obama no longer have a chance in the democratic party. And i don't think they'll have a chance for a good while. What i see is democrats acting more and more like bernie. And backing him up as much as they can because they'll think most of their winning came from him. They'll only be partly correctly. But i think at that point they'll begin to back bernie and his plans more and more.
Making it more and more difficult for republicans and conservatives to screw over the american public as much as they used to. And freeing up money for bernie's plans in the process.
I think by his second year he'll still be going strong. Until that is, how he was able to win catches up with him.
He has gained support partly by way of painting democrats in many of the same ways republicans and conservatives do. Oh had a secret meeting with wall street..oh then you're corrupt. So when he does begin to do things like that. Republicans and conservatives will then use his own words against clinton, obama and other democrats against him. And it'll work.
I thinking the rich, big companies and so on will withdraw their support for a lot of things in washington. That instead of bernie's plans not working being the point in which he's taken out. It'll be lies as usual that will make him a one term president.
Remember how obama could do no right in the eyes of fox news? Well since we americans haven't dismantled that propaganda machine along with bernie and his supporters diverting toward the money instead of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and so on. Republicans and conservatives will just lie even more.
So that even if his plans do end up working. They'll lie and say it doesn't/didn't. And THAT'S when he'll take down the democratic party. Because he won't know how to defend himself against those lies because he helped those same lies in the past.
The aca actually worked. It did exactly what it was meant to do. And what it was meant to do was to get more people healthcare. It wasn't meant to fix healthcare as a whole. It was only meant to keep people from ignoring that we do in fact have issues with healthcare. Or at least that's the way i see it. Could be wrong.
And people still to this day say the aca was a mistake as a whole. Even though it was chopped and screwed by republicans and conservatives before it got out the door.
If bernie were to win. That first year would see insane growth in america. Since republicans and conservatives would still be licking their wounds from having gotten curb stomped in elections. That second year bernie would begin to impliment plans to make the rich pay their fair share which would help pay for everything else he wants to do and THAT'S when the shit would hit the fan.
The second anyone in any capacity in america tries to make the rich pay their fair share without the support of traditionally targeted groups..they're destined for failure. Or at least that's what i'm thinking.
