In two days the Presidential election will be decided. My favored candidate, Gary Johnson will not win. I predict that President Obama will be re-elected and nothing will change much over the next 4 years.
The country is so politically polarized that cooperation on solving our problems is highly unlikely. Part of the reason is that between elections we, the voting public let our elected representatives do what they want with no feedback. Without knowing what we want, they act in their own best interests. The best interest for most of them is maintaining the status quo.
This is the system we have built with our collective non-involvement. So if you want change make sure your congressmen, Senators, state legislators, and local elected officials know what your opinions are on the issues and keep in their faces. Also, keep track of how they do and use that as a guide in the next election.
