(16,313 posts)Our political system is totally screwed and dangerously close to being unfixable as a genuine democratic governance system. I'm not sure we will get another chance to make meaningful course corrections if we don't do it this time (similar to where we are with global warming, it may already be too late for many if not most of us).
How could I vote for someone who I believe would be basically a status quo President when it comes to the issues that shade out all others (oligarchy, campaign finance, global warming/carbon fuels, empire). Oh sure, she might do some "incremental" things in an attempt to maintain a level of voter support and to feather her legacy -- but incremental isn't good enough given the enormity of the challenges we currently face. My conscience won't let me vote for that -- seriously.
