When you get down to it, there's not a whole lot of difference in Democrats and Republicans. One favors one group or two over another, and directs tax dollars to a special interest over another, but at the end of the day, neither one is providing much different than the other guy. Regardless of midterms or the next federal election, you can pretty well bet that unless you are one of a handful of folks that: your taxes are going up (either actual rate, assessment value or other), services/effectiveness of government offered will go down and your cost of living is going to increase, likely without an increase in income. It's been that way since the 70s. The executive branch hasn't helped, no, but it extends way beyond, largely to people who aren't even elected.
Not a big difference between establishment dems and GOP. Which is why we need them to break off and form their own deal.
Then we can have the socialists/communists, establishment, and conservatives.
