(1,926 posts)Half of the people who can vote don't.
Why?
Because they know most politicians on both sides work for the 1% and don't give a damn about them, and their families. If we had a party/candidate that gave a steak to the working folks, for every steak the billionaires got, they would have something to vote for. Most of them know they will be screwed either way. To them it is why bother.
It's not about our party coming together. It is about our party fighting as hard for the less fortunate, and regular working Americans as the Republicans fight for the 1%. That my friends isn't happening. They know it, and so does everyone here. You can pretend all you want, but I truly believe (so does Michael Moore) Trump will be our next president. Centrism won't stop Trump. Saying no to (a PROMISE to veto) TPP, and a promise to fight tooth an nail to address income inequality, force companies to hire AMERICANS, and to get the money out of politics would go a long way.
Won't happen.
Our government is completely corrupt, and everyone with half a brain knows it. Pretending it isn't corrupt? A loser. I know Hillary got all the gravy train riders to help put her over the top, but is another centrist what America really needs while the ice melts, and the 1% amass more wealth and power every second of every day while the rest of us go further in debt?
I could go on.....
