Without question, the most accurate election post-mortem: Uniting American Citizens
In summary:
A whopping 42.5% of the electorate didn't show up because the liberal Dems and the conservative Repubs, and their satellite third parties, are so polarized and wingish that they don't represent the great majority of Americans.
Many who did vote simply held their nose and voted for the lesser of two evils who split most of the vote because, though they were still very distant from the center of the political spectrum where the great majority of people reside, they were still closer to the center than any of the "third" parties, Obama winning mostly because he was the sitting President, a huge "home court" advantage, and because of his race-baiting of Hispanic Latinos.
Roughly 10% of the population is really liberal and 10% is really conservative, with 5% being even more extreme. That leaves around 75% of the Amercan electorate who are centrist and unrepresented by a political party.
The natural political evolution is for a dominant political party that represents most people to eventually split into two factions, complete with satellite "third" parties, in time a great polarization occurs and the major parties lose touch with the people, and when they're all as out of touch with such a great majority of the people as they are today, a new centrist party emerges and dominates, pushing the previous parties into oblivion, and the cycle repeats.
The time is ripe for that new dominant party to emerge at the center of the political spectrum.
The present political parties are so busy trying to keep their power in The Global Economy that they are throwing American citizens under the bus in their power plays and, in effect, are killing America.
The new party will emphasize the natural entitlements of U.S. citizenship, making citizens meaningful, valuable and prominent, with an emphasis on liberty and justice for all U.S. citizens and getting our living-wage jobs back.
The new dominant centrist political party will resuscitate America, hopefully before the 2016 national election.
