      Im just hoping that people recognize that despite the EXTREMELY unfortunate choices here, one administration is going to be a lot better than the other regardless. Shit choice.

      With hindsight 2008 Obama/McCain and 1992 Clinton/HW were the only two presidential campaigns in living memory with decent candidates on both sides.

      (Depending on your opinions of Dukakis and whether or not 1988 was in your living memory I suppose)

        Obama was a massive disappointment. Warmonger maniac.

        He was supposed to turn things around instead he solidified the establishment being ran by elites more than ever.

      Unfortunately I don’t think this will ever happen. It has benefitted both parties at different times, and introducing more parties only invites competent competition. Something they don’t want to fight with.

      When the US fails (whether it be the next 10, 50 or 100 years) I think It’d be this.

        More importantly it’s benefited the corporations. Don’t kid yourself. Both are lined with the gold of the rich.
