Democracy and Its Discontents

This election has two distinct “firsts”……the voters are really pissed and have shown it by the candidates they are supporting….on the GOP side the voter has forsaken the more traditional candidates for the likes of Donald Trump and on the Dem side the voter is torn between a populist like Bernie Sanders and a more “establishment” candidate in Hillary Clinton…..

The media has been trying desperately trying to find something, anything that could help explain why their polling is so wrong…..after 6 months of pushing one candidate over another…their massive mind f*ck has not worked and they are totally confused and a bit irritated….

There has been op-ed after op-ed trying to explain this phenom….some of the best political minds in the media are completely stumped and are scrambling hoping that the “disturbance in the force” will soon right itself…..

But until then……I offer yet another op-ed to the growing list……

Remember the stories about the 1929 Wall Street crash about those weaklings that threw themselves out of windows…..well if these guys cannot get it right soon there will be a rush for the local bridge and the standing room only line waiting to jump…..

  1. Really pissed voters are emerging from center, left and right. Seems no matter what the ilk most are disgusted with the present system and the inability to find politicians to fix things.

  2. An interesting interview with American R.Epstein and the influence of Google in your elections….Sobering.

    Seems everything is sown up…..so much for democracy…
    Looking at the regional elections results in Germany…Merkel, who I might add, is not my fave person could well be in trouble.
    As for Erdogon,if they let him into the E.U. we are finished.
    Then again the E.U. is crumbling….. so with the result of the E.U. referendum in the U.K (which I reckon will be a Brexit) who knows wot will happen.. …Obama will not be pleased!
    I will….
    I do not like our present government….the Tory elite!
    tough times ahead…
    thanx for the above.
