Imagine if Hillary Clinton won. Sure, Democrats might get a SCOTUS pick or two, but it would be the same shit as second term Obama. GOP would strengthen their grip on both chambers of Congress and then likely take the WH in 2020.

With Trump, the Democratic base has been reignited for decades to come. Trump helped make the ACA, previously an unpopular piece of legisglation, and universal healthcare popular. He's been an absolute boon for liberalism in America.


Two scotus picks is massive though.

Also the aca was already popular as long as you didn't call it by it's name. It's popularity is most evident in rural Kentucky for fucks sake as long as you don't call it obamacare

The democratic base reignited for decaes to come. I like the implied admission there that Obama extinguished the 2008 enthusiasm and led to the GOP retaking congress, most governerships, and most state legislatures. And Obama was probably the BEST candidate the democrats will field for the next 75 years.

Erm, no. What a retarded strawman.

Democratic socialism is somewhat halfway between a communist and a capitalist/corporatist system, if we think of the spectrum as having two extremes. Often it means that the government partakes in the ownership of crucial companies and sometimes provides some services like health insurance independently and without extra costs that generate profit to a company. There is no proper definition of what would a social democratic country look like.
