2016 Postmortem

I think the post cited what happened two years into Clinton and Obama's first terms, that we lost one or both houses of congress.

The general premise, I believe, is that the voters as a mass like our branches split, not all one party.

Things change, however, and if that doesn't work we'd be screwed.

Other opinions are that we are screwed either way and hopeless without something approaching a breakdown or revolution, and that we'll get to that point sooner with a crazy president than with a convincing DINO.

I'm not subscribing to any of the above philosophies, but I think there's a stripe of validity to both of them.

The best thing by far is to elect progressive up and down tickets.

Sanders is the only one running who fits that description.
