[@mikepagebrand]

"I'm with her" or "Feel The Burn" also work incredibly well

[@Jet7Wave]

Eh, at least Make America Great Again implies something, it's a call to action with a focus. "Yes We Can" could be applied to literally anything as a phrase.

[@Xanofar]

Donald Trump initially rejected "Make America Great Again" because he thought it was so bad that nobody would actually take to it. It's exactly the same, because it claims to make a "Change" but specifies nothing. I wouldn't call "I'm With Her" vague since it says exactly what it means: "I'm voting for Hillary Clinton". It's a statement more than a call to anything. I was always under the impression that "Feel The Bern" was more of a satirical rallying cry, since it was such an intentionally silly phrase (plus, it's hardly original, which I think was kind of the joke). EDIT: To perhaps put it more simply (or better): What happens if you ask "how"/"what" to the slogan. I'm with her? How? I'm voting for her. Change. (or basically *any* of Obama's 2008 slogans, really) What? Well... Make America Great Again! How? Well... I hope this makes more sense.

[@Holly7500]

Did he make some empty promises? Sure, every politician does. He gave healthcare to tens of millions of Americans. It's been a long time so I doubt you remember but American healthcare was insanely terrible before the ACA. The ACA isn't perfect but it's still much better than what we had before. He didn't cave to Republicans when he had a supermajority. The public option on the ACA was voted down by Joe Lieberman, a Democrat. Republicans were very, very obstructionist. The idea of pulling out of our current conflicts is completely ridiculous btw. We need to sit there and finish the job. The problem is that we kicked over sand castles and then didn't spend the time money to rebuild the place with inclusive institutions and liberal leaders. Obama was the first black president, got two supreme court picks, had gay marriage legalized under his presidency, created the ACA, gave the signal on a risky raid to kill Osama Bin Laden, lifted the Cuban embargo, created the Iran Deal, put tough regulations on wall street after 2008, put tough regulations on the environment and put America into the Paris Climate Accord, and created a stimulus package which made our recovery from the recession mostly smooth.

[@cheydinal5401]

@@Holly7500 The ACA was literally a Republican healthcare plan, that Mitt Romney put in place as governor, it was literally invented by the Heritage Foundation. If doing the Republican plan isn't caving, what is? He kept on taking money from the healthcare industry. The Iran deal was great. The Paris Accord was as much as he could do with a Republican Congress. But he didn't just keep the wars, he started new ones, trying to topple leaders in Syria and Lybia, while actively supporting the war in Yemen, led by the brutal dictator in Saudi Arabia. This isn't about helping people, unfortunately. BTW when has Congress declared war on Yemen? He did pardon non-violent marihuana users.

I thought they were talking about them initially

[@Thrifty032781]

You can apply this to anybody who is very passionate about a presidential candidate and doesn't understand how the presidency works. But this really makes me thing of Bernie Sanders supporters, and the motto "Feel the Bern". I have never been able to understand their endgame, or what they think would happen if he were actually elected president.

[@panzerkampfwageniv4065]

Bernie would have had a very, very tough time passing his progressive policies like a $15 minimum wage and M4A through Congress. You’re very right on this.

[@Thrifty032781]

@@panzerkampfwageniv4065 I mean, one of the more prominent features of the Obama presidency was that his domestic agenda, which was considerably less liberal than that of Bernie Sanders, was frequently blocked by Republican filibuster in the Senate. Sanders would need a Democratic majority in the House, and a supermajority (60+) in the Senate, and hope that no Democrats vote against his policies. At that point, the numbers are so close to reaching the 2/3 majority that you almost don't even NEED a Democrat president. Just start overriding vetoes.

He would try to pass policies fail and give people an alternative, while also passing what lil he can do and blocking shit he doesn't like .. He could do a lot. Like not what he wants but enough to make Bernie fans happy and.... Make more Bernie fans. Like Bernie or not radical candidates never get a chance so most look down on them, even if he can't pass any of his dream goals by winning people will take his vision seriously He benefits a lot more than a typical polictains who is also roadblocked. Oboma with Republicans blocking him looks weak Bernie with Dems blocking him Makes him a savior to anyone who reomelty agrees with him and a hero who fights back. A loser,sure an underdog no doubt and a rising figure. So if u won't want him to gain influence pray he doesn't win, and I don't think he would have but I'd he did ..he would gain a lot cuz he has less to lose and more far more to gain

[@massmurdertron51]

​@@panzerkampfwageniv4065also the minimum wage would just need a executive order , president has to much power. Only limi is the courts Bernie could go for them first like FDR. If he did Id imagine he could get Mass ciztienshio, Immigration reform And a 15 minium wage as a emergency remedy Solve housing if he wants too and remove all the homeless by giving free homes Expand medicare Forigen policy What he wouldn't get is Medicare for all Minor environmental regulations And other stuff that even a court in his favor wouldn't count as a eneercg. His limits are a court and the people wanting to remove him And if people like what he does he won't get impeached. It would be a power ful move Dictator like but .. That's not the point The reason most don't do it is cuz of that But the president had slowly gotten stronger Especially since 2001 So it's highly likely he could do such a move if the courts didn't call it That said they will Unless he fixes them That is ehh I can't guess Also I don't know if he would make such a move but that he could. I would take the risk worst case scenario I resign like Nixon and people fix the preisntal power If u don't want peidents to do what I said u shouldn't have let them get so strong cuz Anything can count as a "national security crisis*
