(87 posts)I see some key issues that are destroying the heart of our nation.
-War on Terror and the continued erosion of our rights in the name of 'safety'.
-War on drugs and the emerging police state. Compared to other nations we have an ABSURD amount of citizens killed by police. The police are completely out of control and there's very little accountability. They'll just take your money or assets without even charging you with a crime(Prove it isn't drug money). They kick in doors and hold families at gunpoint over rumors that somebody was growing a damn plant on the property. An increasing amount of cops seem to have a "respect my authority or pay" viewpoint, which is also worrisome.
-The MIC and never ending wars. Our nation spends a CRAZY amount on our military while our infrastructure and social programs crumble.
-Increasing income inequality and big money in politics.
The only candidate who wanted to actually tackle these issues was Bernie, and he got screwed by super delegates and red states that don't vote dem in the general anyway. Far as I know, Hillary doesn't plan on doing much of anything to address these problems. Just another establishment 'business as usual' politician. She's better than Trumpster, but that isn't saying much.
