    You are missing the point and getting lost in policy issues. Unfortunately, none of it matters in the short term because congress is severely dysfunctional, so any policy issue at this point will either be blocked or filibustered by the Republicans.

    The real issue is addressing campaign finance, citizens united, and tax laws that allow the wealthy to pay essentially nothing.

    But we all know those are not going to change anytime soon since it benefits the corporate overlords. The government works for the corporate interests, big banks, wall st, and the military industrial complex.

    Any other social or political issues are just used to divide and distract from the real issues. Until the dysfunction and corruption in the government is addressed, not much will change.

    All of these articles about specific policies, the wars which we are involved, and any other bullshit are simply devised to distract and divide people into the predictable red team vs blue team dichotomy. None of it matters.
