When you get down to it, we're now a capitalism-driven oligarchy with little regard for the individuals and most rights disproportionately given to mega-corps. Money talks, period. We have a legislative process that is practically tenured with little hope for change in the next eight years: the Dems would have to have control of statehouses in 2018/2020/2022 in order to control redistricting after the 2020 census, and then I wouldn't be surprised to see them gerrymander in their favor, though probably not as radically as the elephants.
