Constants and variables 50
Convective thought about political configurations.
Permanently determined constants: The sun rises and sets. Things fall downward. Hillary will be President.
Congress is more of a variable.
What would happen if both houses of Congress went firmly D, with Sanders and Warren in strong positions? Bernie and Elizabeth have been conditionally loyal in the pres campaign, but they don't like Hillary and don't agree with the whole Bush/Clinton line.
Bernie and Elizabeth are close to the Populist position on several important matters. They want to punish bank crimes. They want Medicare For All. They don't like to make new wars. They want to see less outsourcing, more jobs for ordinary people.
Hillary is Bush on steroids. The most ferociously aggressive warmaker since Madman Lincoln, and the best friend of Goldman.
Could Bernie and Elizabeth muster an override majority on those important points? If so, this combination could actually improve the country instead of destroying it.
B and E are wrong about other important matters: they would continue Obama's destruction of culture and continue pushing the Global Warming crime.
But if economic policy starts to re-energize industries and unions,
Natural Law culture will regain some force. It won't be solely associated with SMASHABLE Repooflicans. Similarly with Global Warming. More powerful coal miners and steel workers, dissociated from Repoofs, will slow down the scammers.
Still negative but not nearly as crucial as banks/ZIRP and imperial aggression.
