Political Triumph or Tragic Farce?


"The year-long circus called the U.S. Presidential election grinds on. "

QUESTION: How could something so simple have been made

 so spectacularly complicated and costly while its

 final outcome,  most times, is so

unbelievably mediocre?

  1. we americans do like to waste money and resources like there’s no tomorrow. and because of all that waste, there won’t be as many tomorrows. i have no idea how any of this is going to play out- you have corporate greed playing both sides against the middle- and we, the people, are the middle. sigh. i was born in the wrong time.

  2. The tragedy, Betmo, is that the political system remains the same even after Bush. Surely when something’s broke, it should be fixed!

    Yeah, Renegade, the rah-rah-rah gets a bit tedious especially when you’ve heard it several thousand times (or is that millions?).

  3. It does seem to go on forever but the advantage is that it gives time for the candidates to hang themselves and for them to rise and fall in popularity and you get to have a good hard look at them. In the UK we have a 10 week period and the polls change very little so nothing really changes in that time. I like the ebb and flow of the US elections and not being in the US i get to drift out and come back just for the good bits.

  4. It doesn’t just seem to go on forever, Lucy. And what exactly are the good bits?

    Anti-neocon, both the parties AND the President are also owned by Big Business. Big changes need to be made to the American political system but they won’t be!
