The Dems run a Dem-standard campaign, filling their little bellies with stress, but hoping and believing (but not praying) the polls giving them a slight edge will actually prove true on election night.

A call to action
This is what happens when you let a republic turn into a corporatist oligarchy instead of a real democracy.
It doesn’t matter who wins if you have a democracy because there are zero politicians.
Instead, both parties practice non-stop gerrymandering, partisan politics, insider trading, and dark money campaign finance — all for the benefit of private corporate interests, not widest-spread wellbeing.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it until the day I die:
Democracy is too precious a thing to entrust to politicians.
And there’s only one way out of this mess:
Stop voting for corporate-captured Democrats and Republicans and start voting with your dollars.
We’ve got twelve fiscal quarters to bankrupt the corporate powers who (s)elect the people who lead the United States of America.
Spread the word.
