I voted "hopeless" but I vote anyway. I think its hopeless for the simple reason that both of the ruling parties in the US are beholding to the same people. I had some hope when I voted for Obama the first time around. But, as soon as he asked Rich Warren to offer up the prayers, I suspected we had be had. When he gave Wall Street a pass after they had trashed the economy, even upping their bail out, I knew we had been had. It came as no surprise then, that he continued Bush's wars and expanded the powers of the police state. Eight years later the Democrats offered up a second Clinton administration, with her being far to the right of the right leaning Obama. But I voted for her anyway because, well, Trump. She won, but didn't make it to the White House because of the Electoral Collage farce that is American Democracy in action. But, had she made it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, I suspect we would be in as nearly as much turmoil as we are now, particularly since she did not carry either the house or the senate. The Republicans would surly have impeached her and the shit storm would have been massive.
I will vote a straight Democratic ticket in November, but even if there is a "blue wave", I don't have any hope it will amount to much more than cosmetics. Wall Street will still rule, we will still be the #1 war mongering nation in the world, at best we will give a little lip service to global warming and the environment, and no one is going to reign in the military or the police state.
