After spending 1.6 Billion on the last election not much really changed. Democrats have the Presidency and the Senate while the Republicans still control the House. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that where we were before the election circus? What changed? Nothing. The duopoly still remains unchallenged with no real resistance from third parties. The green Party, who I voted for could not even pass the half a million mark. This is according to their own website and is better than they have done before. It is no where near enough to challenge the status quo.
So there will be no:
Discussion of neoliberalism.
Addressing Israels nuclear weapons
Real health care reform.
Sensible gun control.
Set living wage.
Dealing with the hard realities of climate change.
Punishment for those who tanked the economy.
But there will be:
Expanding wars for fun and profit.
More severe economic crashes.
Continued poisoning of the environment.
More money to be made in the Prison Industrial Complex.
An ever expanding wealth gap.
Continued gridlock in government.
... In other words, business as usual.
