Obama had a chance to get rid of the Regan tax cuts and didn't. He wasted his first year all together when he had a majority.

Bernie MAY actually be for the people (not for the rich), although at this point it's hard to feel any politiican actually is.

As far as left vs right, it's not a real divide, it's made up by the wealthy to keep us fighting each other so they can stay in power easier.

Abortion? Leave it up to the individuals. It's not illegal, but also you can't force a doctor etc to perform them. I'd go so far as to actually allow it to be decided on a state to state basis, and if you don't like that states laws, move to another one (or visit another one briefly to get an abortion and then come back).

Gun control? You have the right to bear arms, but just like a car, you need to pass a test and get licensed. That would be an improvement at least and would allow our country to focus on things we really need, like our infrastructure. Yes, gun control is important, but.....your not going to change the minds of so many people right away, so stop trying, focus on something everyone can agree on, and then over time if people change how they think......THEN focus on it again.

But nope, none of that matters because it's Dem vs Rep and whatever party gets in power, the other party will do everything they can to sabatoge them. It's not checks and balances, it's political assassination.

Meanwhile, even if Bearni actually gets into office, he won't have much power unless he has a majority as well.....and even many Dems are not on board with what he proposes etc. Wealth rules this country and Bearni is more concerned with the non-wealthy citizens and actively attacks the 1%.....where all the power is. Even if he became president he would probably find himself with almost no power at all.

Ain't no solution either cause the rich and corporations hold all the power and they ain't given it up. Can't have a revolution (too destructive not just to our country but the world), which is pretty much the only way to break the current power base, so we are stuck.

You can lie to yourself and try and believe we actually have power and can make a difference, but the truth is money is everything, and the people with the money like the current setup......so the only changes we will really see are ones that benefit then, or at least don't inconvienence/hurt them.
