Somehow this thread has been hijacked (by terrorists), but anyway - what matters are a few small details that could lead to huge implications - that's why this election is very important. The first, 3 Supreme Court Justices are set to retire during this next Presidential term, the second - the threat of the elimination of the Capitol Gains Tax (if it's eliminated, this will massively accelerate the destruction of the middle class and set the ground for a "Hunger Games" tiered society. And, The future of Health Care. Whether people know it or not, the Affordable Care Act has had a lot of beneficial results and is setting the road for a more affordable health care system in America. Eliminating it now would be a disaster.

Kindasorta my fault.



Long term, I'm not worried. Short term, not too confident. You can do a ton of damage in 4 or 8 years. Look at GW Bush. And it wasn't as polarized coming out of the Clinton years as it is today. I blame cable news and politicians who aren't afraid to misinform, disinform and just flat out lie. When somebody messes up and is honest about what they really think, not just what's on their list of talking points, like this Aiken guy, they pay for it on occasion. Not very often tho, and the cable so called news shows get away scot free. It's becoming acceptable to make ridiculous claims and promises and never come through and still be a hero, wtf?
