Well, I would agree that both parties have baggage. And both parties answer more to big money than to average American voters - I think of that 2012 Princeton study that concluded that Congress tends to protect the interests of the wealthy (and corporations) above all. Personally, I remain ambivalent about immigration, including some forms of legal immigration, and its role in depressing wages. I know there are cases where that definitely happens, but studies have also suggested that automation, robotics, and IT have played a far larger role in reducing the number of many types of jobs. And we are all consumers as well as producers - lower prices do benefit us. I too support organized labor, though personally, I think we all need a refresher course in pension history. I think pension increases were often promised in lieu of raises, or to compensate for increased health care costs; and I blame legislators who relied on projected market returns to make those pensions possible.
