The only thing that is likely to create any real change in this country is marginalization of the two parties in charge. It has to start somewhere.
You know politics. And you know, these parties ultimately serve the 20% of us doing well. They don't give a fuck about truly improving the lives of the rest. They'll offer them aid, or programs, or whatever else they can to manage them. But they aren't interested in creating economic growth among these people because that would cost them and their benefactors.
Sure, Democrats are better. But neither party has any solutions. In a moment where we might allow tech to help us achieve Keynes' "Leisure Society," we've instead developed a country where the top - both right and left - siphons all the $$$$ upward and leaves the rest to toil like serfs.
Whether it's via neoliberal policies or nationalist policies, the country's bifurcating. My household depends on US workers and small to mid sized businesses having cash to spend on services. I'm watching two parties with no clue allowing global economic trends to hollow out that sector. So in a sense, I was voting my book.
I favor a universal income fix. And you might say the Dems are more likely than the GOP to implement such a thing. But I don't believe that. I don't think either one of them will do it. The only reason it's even discussed now is because a Socialist, Sanders, brought ideas of that ilk out of the sphere of deviancy to which they'd been wrongly relegated.
