Not to open up a political discussion here, but what is the most logical action of those who take this album to heart? I would guess they probably supported Bernie and are now thinking of not voting in consideration of Hillary's platform on the same issues.

You're supposing that it was written to push a message or serve a purpose that it doesn't have to have. Her disliking Obama's policies could be completely removed from this election year. Are there interviews where she suggests that she wants her audience to react or behave in specific ways pertaining to the 2016 election?
