We have two choices. We can have that conversation in a year or two or we can have it in 50 years if the world even makes it that far.

Retrospectives on 2016 to plan for 2018 and 2020 are great except for the "fascists have compromised our election process top to bottom" bit
-
Discussing how we should position the left to lose in unfair elections in 2018 and 2020 seems a bit shallow.

some day we'll all look back on this and think, at least we got the incompetent warmonger instead of the competent one
-
I dunno, do you wanna go shooting with an incompetent, emotionally unstable gun owner, or a competent one with a profit motive
-
The competent one will definitely kill you when it is profitable to do so, but the incompetent one is out there being a yahoo....
-
if you give an incompetant warmonger a military it loses influence and has to focus on autonomy, competent leadership lets it grow quickly
-
True, true. But it also bombs a lot of people thanks to the inertia from the previous 44 warmongers
-
the global military dominance asserted by the us is currently precarious, but a decade of successfull interventionism could have cemented it
-
chance of 100yrs of ambient bombings and political assassination of foreign citizens is imo the most concerning thing re american politics

Talking about who can or will win in 2018 is urgent and can not begin soon enough. GOP ain't stopping for a breather.
-
The Republicans will win in 2018 because our election process is fully compromised and we have taken 0 steps to repair it.
-
That is indeed my concern. I don't know what all can be done to address that. I suspect courts are almost only recourse.
-
At the least, I want people to focus intensely on this reality & confront it. Dems don't seem to realize just how bad it is. Don't want to.
-
Not saying we should panic. But pretending like propriety and integrity is well preserved is not going to help us.

Exactly. Also, I'd add enough of the 'this is not normal' talk. Obviously.
