More Gridlock - Who benefits? [View all]
(cross posted from G.D.)
Even with the election of Obama, and some gains in the Senate, we all know gerrymandering has all but ensured a repub house for some time to come. (yes I know we can and must fight to regain, but it has turned into a Herculean task due to gerrymandering.).
The corporate state benefits most when the status quo is maintained. The armed civilian branch of the Federal government has long made it its mission to squelch social progressive movements such as the civil rights movement and Occupy to make sure things stay the same old same old.
So, even though the Democratic party won the election, did the corporate state really even need to win the presidency or even the Senate? As long as they can effectively keep progress stalled, haven't their goals been met?
