Democrats are stale and have no vision. It’s a dead brand.
Republicans are insane greedheads and demographically fucked.
Neither plans to do anything real to rein in runaway capitalism or inequality. And we can’t afford either’s policies.
The mood in the country remains dark because everybody knows the post-2008 recovery is theatre. Our national vision, from both parties, is to keep reflating an asset bubble that burst in 2000. Why? Because, uncreative fucks we are, it’s the only means we can muster to get baby boomers thru retirement and wallpaper over a labor market that’s been flat or trending down on wage growth since 2000.
Parties are arguing over music on the Titanic. Strings or horns?
