(1,662 posts)For me the answer is no.
Maybe tax policy will change a little.
Maybe we will have boots on the ground instead of just using drones and proxy armies.
But the Federal Reserve remains sucking wealth to the top
Corporate protectionism remains sucking wealth to the top
Free trade deals still pass
CIA still interferes in global politics
We still support brutal dictators
We still spy on our own people
We still fight a war against our own people for growing a plant
The poor stay poor the rich get richer the middle class stays stagnant.
We still allow banksters to rob from hard workers.
We still have a poor education system
We still sell ourselves into debt slavery
We still under pay workers
We still allow corporations to use food stamps to subsidize their low pay.
We still can't afford healthcare
We still have prisons for profit
We still lock up more African Americans than any other race.
We still have corruption, greed, and cronyism at the highest levels
We still allow M$M to lie to us
We still allow Billionaires to buy our elected officials
We still are bombarded by messages of fear and division
I really don't think it matters who becomes president these things have become so ingrained in our legal codes and our culture the president can change but things are still the same.
