Yes, I do believe "checks and balances" are needed. I also believe that, since the Dems and Repugs are both working for the same people, those "checks and balances" are most emphatically NOT WORKING at the moment, and have not worked for a period of several decades at least.

The_Dunedan, please accept my apology for mistaking you for a defender of the status quo, and for seeming to write in a condescending way; it is out of frustration, not aloofness, that I came off in that way.
Although I agree that there are no angels in this cesspool of American politics, I still see some differences in the intent of the opposing sides, and practically speaking, please consider that legislative votes against anti-populist bills are some glimmer of representation of the best interests of the masses, on an anecdotal basis. What do you make of this? Do you think that it is inconsequential, or does it give you some hope that ordinart people still have a small voice?
