(32,324 posts)If it is true, then it pretty much proves that we are not living in a democracy.
If this election is a binary event: then, we are living in a kleptocracy, where we have the choice of voting for two empty suits. And in the end, we still have the endless wars, the endless Homeland Security surveillance, the lack of will to do anything for the average person, and the complete capitulation of the party that once stood for the working person. So as the middle class goes down the toilet, at least let's state the obvious - we don't have free elections.
We have no choice about getting our wealth transferred to the One Percent. Only difference I can see: one party will let us have contraception, cuz who the hell would want to bring a kid into this world? While the other won't because, after all, Jesus will make it all better.
