During the 2000 election, I remember many people suggesting that there wasn't much of a difference between Vice President Gore and Governor Bush. History has shown us otherwise.
Respectfully, if the election is between Secretary Clinton and Donald Trump, how will you vote? There really are significant differences between them and the Republicans must be defeated.

The rightward shift of both parties over the past four decades is an undeniable, established fact.
Anyone who doesn't see it is ignorant or in denial

"There is a transnational ruling class, a "Superclass", that agrees on establishing a world government. The middle class is targeted for elimination, because most of the world has no middle class, and to fully integrate and internationalize a middle class, would require industrialization and development in Africa, and certain places in Asia and Latin America. The goal of the Superclass is not to lose their wealth and power to a transnational middle class, but rather to extinguish the notion of a middle class, and transnationalize a lower, uneducated, labor oriented class, through which they will secure ultimate wealth and power.
The global economic crisis serves these ends, as whatever remaining wealth the middle class holds is in the process of being eliminated, and as the crisis progresses, the middle classes of the world will suffer, while a great percentage of lower classes of the world, poverty-stricken even prior to the crisis, will suffer the greatest, most probably leading to a massive reduction in population levels, particularly in the "underdeveloped" or "Third World" states." -- Andrew Gavin Marshall
