Even if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, Democrats could still lose the Senate [ 2016 Senate race]. What the Hell is Hillary going to accomplish with a Republican Congress? will we have a Ted Cruz presidency in 2021?

Democrats would have been much better with Bernie Sanders.

Edit: I was doubting a Clinton victory.

You know. There hasn't been a year in my life, and I'm a silver back now, where I haven't heard someone saying that our country is doomed.

My dad was a firm believer our country was doomed because Church leaders were always saying back in the 70's and 80's the 2nd Coming was just around the corner. He had his two years supply of food and water because crap was going down. He hoarded gold and silver so we had something to trade because crap was going down. The dude had a master's degree in Economics, and he still believed crap was going down.

Political leaders. Prognosticators. Laymen. Fat, unemployed, child-abandoning, wife-tapping types. Religious folk. You name it. They've all been saying for my 45 years crap was going down.

We have the Internet. We have smart phones, tv's, and even smart Christmas lights. We have an abundance of food, fuel, clothing, and everything under the Sun. We literally live in the most advanced times, the most peaceful times, the most knowledge-available times, but SHYTE IS GOING DOWN!!!!

Holy “F” balls. Why the endless pessimistic 'tudes? Like. 3/4's of the population can't practice gratitude because they were apparently weaned on pickles.

It's just the oddest thing.

That said, we are consuming ourselves into obsolescence. I get it. But America? We're not going down. Our lifestyles are better than ever. A presidential election isn't going to tank our country. The dourness has gotta stop. You sourpusses are just making yourselves sad and anxious over nothing. Look for the good and stop obsessing on microaggressions and endless apocalyptic scenarios, mang.

Fine, I will delete that, I don't want to sound like a religious fanatic.
I am just worried about the future, but hopefully things go well

DT,

Don't delete anything. Conversation is good. You caused me to be reflective and want to communicate.

I try to live my life such that if Jesus comes back today or I go to see him today. The results are still the same.

Yep. I remember Rush Limbaugh ranting that if Bill Clinton is elected, America is screwed. We are done. Even if all our smart phones, internet access, fancy cars, and TVs were taken away, we would somehow survive. Humans survived without that crap for thousands of years.

Bernie Sanders is a bit too far left. I really wished that Joe Biden would have ran and have gotten the Democratic nomination. He would have been able to easily beat Trump.

Nonsense. Sanders is a moderate when you compare him to politicians in Europe. Jill Stein is more to left.

The reason why Sanders is seen as "too far left" is because today many in Washington are too far to the right. Hillary Clinton is the equivalent of a moderate Republican of the 60s.

FYI - "too far to the left" is polite-speak for "incompetent"
