I will add my own small worth to the above comments. We are for the most part Armchair debaters that the world passes by. We have neither power nor influence no matter our education is social class. Unless and until we ourselves choose to become physically and actively engaged in matters politic then we are debating things that really do not directly concern us. It is not easy to enter politics to the extent that one gets noticed. If we want change ten we should unite with likeminded people and campaign for change. This is fraught with danger since those happy with the status quo will use all means, fair or foul to shut us up. We will be followed, have our homes and workplaces tapped, our mail and our electronic mail read remotely, be watched at home via our own television and computer screens, have our friends and relatives turned against us, be ridiculed and vilified in the media, be harassed by law enforcement and much more besides. All this in a supposed democracy! Does it really matter to any of us no matter who we are registered to vote for? Divisive politics is bad for nation’s citizens but ideal for presenting a false image of healthy democratic debate. We are left out of any and all decision making processes. Laws are passed that are rarely to our advantage but always to the advantage of politicians and Corporate America. The last recession was a false one. It was designed to get bankers and multi nationals off the hook whilst tripling their fortunes whilst government reduced the income of the working population dependent upon salaries and wages from earned labor to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table and cloths on their backs. I know one thing for certain and that is at the last winning post of the race for the white house neither Hillary Rodham Clinton are Donald Trump will be in that final furlong. People have a tendency to vote for the people that can cause untold harm to the reputation of their United States. Ronald Regan was not favourite and was regarded as a clown yet he became one of the best presidents of the twentieth century. George W Bush had the advantage of being born into a mega rich and powerful elite family of oil and weapons manufacturing billionaires who could buy the presidency. He was the figurehead but his daddy and daddy’s friends pulled the strings. This made up for the Father falling out with some folks and not getting a second term and making way for Clinton presidency that the republicans sabotaged at every turn. I reckon Monika Lewinski was a paid Republican saboteur placed there to befriend, flirt with, ensnare and then bring down. It never quite worked out though. Obama has been a decent president but underlying prejudice has hindered his time in office and the republicans have tried to discredit him often. We will get the president we deserve and one frankly, already chosen before any so called election takes place. Whoever it will be makes no matter because nothing will change for the vast majority of us.
