stuck

the Donald co-opted the Right's machine
and Clinton took it for the other side
the one's a charmless wonk, the other's mean
but they share donor lists and sinful pride
the menu's fixed; it's one of just these two
and neither's representing you and me
each candidate speaks for the wealthy few
who purchase access with each speaker's fee
we'll miss Barack, eight years now seems too short
while Mitch scored points by running out the clock
but if he takes a seat on our High Court
Progressive issues are back on the dock
'til Snowden comes of age to top the bill
we'll have no champion for the Public Will
