(3,747 posts)It, along with our unbelievably racist and broken "justice" system, global warming, and our oppressive financial system are the biggest issues we face today. I will not support a politician that will not speak out on ALL of these topics.
If they refuse to speak against the MIC, then they prop up a massive machine that literally feeds on human life, delivering profits to contractors, oil companies, and all sorts of the villainous elite.
I will not support them.
If they refuse to speak out for environmentalists and pursue strong changes in our energy policies and regulations, they are condemning us all (and in particular those who are young and will still be alive when the shit really hits the fan, like me) to a slow and miserable death.
I will not support them.
If they refuse to to speak out against a justice system that is clearly oppressive, if they refuse to fund education and social programs, then they sentence my minority brothers and sisters to be thrown away as trash.
I will not support them.

1.3+ million dead. Countless lives traumatized, injured, disabled, removed, all in the name of profit and glorious nationalism.
I can't.
I won't.
