November Elections

I predict here and now that no matter who you're voting for: You won't be better off in four years than you are today. Unless democrats and republicans start working together to solve some of the problems instead of flinging dirt at each other all the time. But then again, that's not very likely to happen.

True enough. The first thing they have to do is figure out which are the real problems! Worrying about contraception, for example, doesn't do squat for the economy. The way things are going, no one is going to be able to afford them anyway.

It would also be nice but as unrea;istic as anyting ever, that both Obama and Romey STOP bashing each other, and starttalking aboutthe issues OR people may become so disengaed by the process tha tthe Voter turno ut is lwer in November then in recent history,
It is like the Republicans debates WERE, they need to DISCUSS THE ISSUES and not bash each other, everyone knows where Obama failed, everyone knows what Romeny did as Governor, lets be direct with the Aerican people and insteado f saying"Hewil not o this, or that" letssays WHAT YOY WILL DO, even if you do not keep your word the Voters wil at least know where you stand ON EVERYTHING I am tired of all the Bashing already

arguably its not about democrat vs republican, it's about young vs. old, or it should be. and both groups can't win

Why should it be about young vs. old? It could just as well be progressive vs. conservative, urban vs. rural. And no matter what: In none of this cases both can't win, but both will lose even much more if they can't find compromises.
However, American politics are dominated by democrats and republicans, so it's them who need to start working together and find compromises.
