Reply #7: There is a fork in the road: [View All]

[E_Zapata]

1st fork:

Vote republican or for a 3rd party candidate and get an enhanced, turbo version of what we have seen in the past 3 years. Thus inevitably leading to either (a) total submission of the people for a long time; or (b) a bloody - and I mean BLOODY - civil war right here on our soils thereby leading, ultimately, to a complete reconstruction of the American system. A house-cleaning of sorts. But a high price to pay to remove the corrupt (dem and repub) structures that have embedded themselves in this democracy.

OR

2nd Fork:

Vote for a democrat and prepare to work your butt of for reform. A bloodless reform. Voting democratic in this election provides one last ditch effort to turn a corrupt governmental system around. Bloodless. A gamble, for sure. The dems are not "the" ultimate answer to reform, but they do give "we the people" at least a foothold to make some lasting and important changes.

The options this election: Bloody revolt vs an opportunity to make changes without resorting to civil war.

That is the way I see it.
