Man, this election SUCKS!

Rethug takeover means if you're not a white and stinkin' rich, you're just plain screwed.

Civil rights for a fortunate few who can buy them. Tough shit, middle class.

Money talks, nobody walks.

1. And working class, and the poor, and the disabled, and the homeless.... Amazing how

such a teeny little group of people can rule over so many others, but as you say "Money Talks."

7. It's the media. We always hear about the middle class and never about any of the rest of us. I think

that narrative just takes hold without most of us even thinking about it. I know I didn't realize I was doing it too until another DUer pointed it out to me. :hug:

2. Their job's not done yet.

There's still wealth to transfer from the bottom 95%.

4. I am not feeling so bad. Many Senate races that were supposed to go GOP are going our way

and I don't think the GOP will pick up 50 seats.

5. Once again we can think the Supreme Court and their ruling to

let unamed corporate money with no limits into our political process.

Scalia and Thomas with their gasps during President Obama's speech....remember that? Oh, they claimed we didn't do that....Well yes you did....

Don't expect anything to get done in WA......nothing.

6. Seems that backhanding and gratuitously insulting one's constituencies

didn't turn out to be such a fine strategy.
