the people would win, the problem is that it is actually "Money vs. Money"..we'll be getting the same labor sucking advocacy regardless who wins, they agree on the most damaging policies because ultimately they are both accepting payment from the same corporate machine, and ignoring the 80 some percent of voters who disagree with the labor sucking policies...the labor party is dead..
