| Who really won this 'election'? |
|
The mega-corporations of course.
And they made damn sure their peeps they've placed in government/judicial positions opened the floodgates for greater control and much less transparency about who is really behind the curtain. This isn't even a partisan issue, because there are people on all sides of the aisle with their greedy hands in the game. So my suggestion is that we don't allow ourselves to get swept up in what is essentially a fixed game and a house of cards. We should be focusing on runaway governance via corporations and their grab for power over all our lives. A hostile takeover and distribution of the spoils. They've infiltrated the governement, the media, the financial sector, polling, and the machinations of the election process itself. So don't waste time with partisanship. Things can't change so long as we continue to play the same old political games while those in power change the rules to suit themselves.
And not a peep by Democrats in the last few years about our e-voting issues? That speaks volumes.
Time for a reality check and a change in strategy.

It's their ball & bat, their sandlot. And they will continue to win, they've got a lock on electoral politics, money is power.
If there is to be change it must come from the streets. It must come from the organized masses, it's the only power we got.
