Why do any of us here think anything will be different in 2016?
We give our money/budget to what we hold dear, and this gov't that has been bought & paid for by an oligarchy that does not support social justice, does not give one thought to income inequality or poverty. Hell, SCOTUS empowers them. What we have is a bunch of liars and pandering solely to appear as though they care. Just look at Congress & what they want to fund, that should tell us all.
And now, we are debating the value of yet another Clinton vs. Bush, after the last Bush lied us into unnecessary war & took us to the brink of economic collapse, which we are still in the midst of, despite the flowery messaging of our four company owned MSM. Have you had enough? Hell, no we are "hopeful" 2016 is going to change things around. Really?
Just look at our guy in the WH, he wants more war privilege, as though what we have here with the Patriot Act, NSA, etc., is not possibly enough. When will the dollar amount be enough for death & destruction? When is this neverending terrorism war going to stop being the money pit of devastation it is?
It's not going to stop until an end is put to this oligarchy, and not one candidate is going to stand up against it. If they do, they won't have a campaign. So get ready for one choice, as bad as the other, or a repeat of slow road vs. fast road, like we had last go around.
Working within a corrupt system is pointless. If you want things to change it won't be by voting for Clinton vs. Bush. Rule of law and accountability have to return...and we have to stop blowing everything into oblivion.
