Here is the sad part about politics today. You have your partisans on both sides so when you view things thru a political bias,you are going to formulate the opinion in your mind that your side is presenting the facts.
The best thing about this year's election is the fact that the two party system has been exposed,and they have been exposed in a way that shows they are pretty much the same people and philosophy.The only place a difference might exist is on a couple social issues.People are now finding out that their govt will spy on them,use drones to kill people,engage in military intervention,and oust dictators regardless of what they profess to be.
I'm voting this year primarily because I despise the TPP,crony capitalism where we fund corporations with tax dollars only to move off shore and skirt paying little to no taxes back into the system.I have no issue with lowering the taxes on corporations provided they don't accept excessive govt money.The biggest beef I have is how the cronies overcharge our govt for everything. When you pay 1500 dollars for a toilet seat or a hammer,or 19000 dollars for a bolt you can buy at the hardware store for a dollar,that's insane. We have been accepting NO BID contracts since the 60s because politicians get lots of money from the people that fiance their campaigns or feather their nest with big bonuses.The political establishment has been protecting each other for years.I think what Trump and Bernie did this year by exposing the system even in their own respective parties had to be done.They committed the ultimate sin. Thou Shall Not Tell Anyone Our Secrets and disrupt our gravy train that we have adored all these years.
Lets be honest,the two party establishment would love to kill Trump and Bernie for doing what they did. Now you know why.
