under a corporate dictatorship. Now more than ever that applies.

The Democrats passed legislation the corporations didn't like and they are singlehandedly taking over our election process and putting in place politicians that are favorable to them.

If the Republicans take over the congress, I think our nation as we know it, will be over for at least 2 decades.

2. Only thing I disagree with is

Let the Republicans take over and 2 decades will just be the beginning. Working with their corporate masters will see the end of democracy in America until/unless there is another revolution to restore it.
