An election season void of any real debate on any real issue, simply comes down to this: the best liar, wins.
Who pointed the most fingers, who had the biggest megaphone and the most passionate liars on the biggest networks to push their message, who had the most donations from the most secret donors each with their own motives for getting their politician elected.
These are the engins that pushed this year’s midterm election cycle, and lost in all the melee are the issues that matter to the voters.
After the dusts have settled and the votes are counted we will know. The final vote count will tell us who had the loudest megaphone, the best liars, the biggest network. In this cycle it does not matter what your feelings were about health care, or the deficit, or ISIS or the budget or immigration. Because the chance that these issues survived this election cycle is minimal.
So some will win and they will celebrate, oblivious to the issues that matter, but mindful of the donors they’ll represent.
And these “winners” will sit in office for the next few years planning their path for the next re-election. They will cuddle up with their secret donors and they will cultivate their friendship with the networks. And the vicious cycle of lies and misinformation will continue with the losers being the American people and the issues that matters to them.
American democracy. You just gotta love it!
