Togo is a country in w. Africa.

In commercial terms what we have is "bait and switch." Both
parties have a good line of BS, but who ever gets in,
nothing changes [for the better] for the majority of the
citizens. Governmental debt increases, the number/fraction
of governmental employees [now many as nominally private
contract workers] increases, the number of people killed in
the name of the people of the United States increases,
governmental snooping increases, the volume and inanity of
governmental excuses increases, and the
socio-economic/cultural/financial conditions just keep
getting worse.

If elections changed anything, these would be illegal. A
plague on both their houses.
