Starting to think maybe a Trump victory will be better in the long run than a narrow Clinton victory. After 2 years of Trump disaster, the 2018 midterms will usher in a sane congress. Then in 2020 we might get enough of a mandate to fix Obamacare/add a public option/single-payer.
Well this is ****ing stupid.
I think it's lunacy to assume much at all about 2020 at this point. Certiain it's far too up in the air to want to ellect Trump now to insulate against what you might think could maybe happen in the future.
The idea that we can tolerate two years of Trump for gains elsewhere is flat dangerous. Trump could have us all dead in 2 years.
ETA- this is also a pretty good example of White Privilege. A Trump win might not impact you now, it will for women, gays and people of color.
