Well, Midterms are Here. Now What?

I think that my day will continue like it has the past 18 months.

 

vote democrat!!!

 

I will get up Wednesday morning and trudge off to work. Nothing much will have changed. Just different players in the non ending battle between the political parties.

 

As it should!

 

If a different political party gets into power there is probably going to be changes but they don’t happen instantly, honestly are there people here that really think things are going to change instantly?

 

I predict disaster soon.

 

think red...…...

 

You mean socialist, yeah right on…

[Red is traditionally associated with socialism and communism. The oldest symbol of socialism (and by extension communism) is the Red Flag, which dates back to the French Revolution in the 18th century and the revolutions of 1848.]

 

Obviously nothing is going to change significantly. The majority of voting Americans are too much voting against 'the other side' and too scared to lose anything to make a real change. And then you have all the clueless losers who don't vote because 'nothing will change anyway'/'the whole thing is rigged and/or predecided'. These people are all part of the real and actual reason your democracy seems so flawed and hopeless (on a national level at least)

 

We vote, we wait.

 

Same as any other day, living under empire. The rich are getting richer while the poor get poorer.

"Those who control the levers of political power in this country, no matter their party affiliation, no matter their supposed convictions, are far more loyal to the institution in which they serve than they are to those of us who elected them. They are no more accountable to us than are our bosses at work. The politician, like the boss, is always performing a cost-benefit analysis. The moment that our interests diverge from theirs — that is to say, the moment that they step into the hallowed halls of government — they will renege on the convictions that they had so steadfastly proclaimed during a campaign."

 

probably a hangover. everyone's either got to celebrate or mourn.

 

I expect the Libertarian Party to do poorly again.

 

Hipforums is gonna shit its pants again just like in 2016.

 

Geez, I can't wait for 2016 to finally end.

 

People who don't study history are doomed to repeat it, and those who do are doomed to stand helplessly by while the others repeat it.
