(37,573 posts)by not voting for Gore they helped Bush to win. They should have known what they were doing was gonna help Bush win.
The reason the country is in a miserable state right now, is because Bush won and enacted 8 years worth of bad policy, much of which still has not been reversed for some reason.
I think you have that backwards too. Neither party gives a damn about the bottom 60%, but they are not both fully owned by oligarchs. Look at the dime's worth of difference. The Republican Presidential candidates are all promising multiple trillions in tax cuts for the top 1%. My party's candidate, even though I call him Captain Caveman, even though he came out of his cave, saw his shadow, got scared and gave us four more years of the Bush tax cuts, is at least making half-hearted attempts to pass the Buffet rule.
