friends, it does matter. just not so much.
Given the likely candidates:

The poor will get screwed, to some degree.
The war will continue, to some length.
Education will suffer, to some amount.

Under a Democrat (assuming that one of the frontrunners wins the nomination), things will be better. By a little.

For real change, in whatever field of interest, we will continue to have to agitate. And so it goes.
