I guess push come to shove, I'd rather vote for business man who talks about molesting women to a lifelong politician that actually has.
The sad part is I actually am forced into that choice, unless I want to vote for a 3rd party that has no hope of winning, thus my vote be wasted.
Or perhaps all of us voting inside the lines the system provides are wasting our votes and have been for about a half century, thus granting our consent.
What happened in the 60's that suddenly blew the system, in your eyes?
Wasn't really the 60s in my eyes, and I'm primarily focused upon the rerigging of the economic system, the redistribution of societal wealth out of society and the concentration of that societal wealth into fewer and fewer "private" hands thus concentrating corporate wealth and power and corporate power over the political system and media machine ultimately, thanks to Bill Clinton’s deregulation of the FCC in the 1990s. That’s when this all began to shift in our lifetime, the 1970s or so. There has indeed been a vast redistribution of wealth, just not in the direction everyone is always blathering on about. It wasn’t so much a single event, thing, or bill, but rather an inflection point within which, over time, the will of the unsubstantial people became insignificant in any meaningful way. And it was utterly bipartisan. Ours simply become over time an authoritarian system masquerading as a democratic republic with a “capitalist” economic system.
