Dissatisfied with the corporate take-over of politics, the oppressive nature of the United States government, and the war in Iraq, many people have objected to both the Democratic and Republican Parties. While Obama has raised hope for change for many and Clinton has allegedly, though not to my knowledge, been something of a policy hack, the truth is both candidates and the Democratic Party have supported the Iraq War and after spending their terms in the Democratic Majority Senate cannibalizing the people of Iraq, they are now eating each other. In this dire situation, were one candidate to step up and articulate a legitimately progressive viewpoint challenging the vast destruction of corporations, the prison industrial complex, and the racist profiling that police continuously engage in, the election might be interesting. Rather, we have an election filled with empty rhetoric and at the end of the day will be left again with an election that will change very little. I hope I am wrong. Somebody in office will have to prove it.
