Re: Voter apathy is the main issue
Given that some people in power were truly corrupt agents of the war industry and they failed spectacularly, I would say democracy works quite nicely.
The handwringing by the 1% and their media outlets from CNN to The Econimist should simply be discounted. These folks expected "their" candidate to succeed plus sweetalking of yet more wars against helpless countries in the middle east.
Didnt happen. Great !
