That was really insightful Keri especially because you don't live here. Your points are dead on.
This nation, to me, is mostly crazy.
If budgets are moral documents, then we really are nuts.
Our govt spends 53% of its budget on the military. Our young people are crushed with debt just for going to college, we spend more on healthcare than any nation yet even people like me (who is doing fine in life) kind of have to worry about medical bills.
Trump is crazy and a selfish lunatic who is surrounded by powerful, wealthy people, but how bad of a party do you have to be, Democrats, to lose to this guy?
You know what Obama's platform was for African-Americans? "Hey, I'm African-American." That's it.
We have a no-party system here.
Which party is the anti-war party? Which party wants to protect the environment? Which party wants universal health care for all? Which party is pro-labor? Which party is proposing real efforts to make college as cheap as it was when I went to college? Which party has made significant efforts to address 400 years of oppression, injustice, violence, and discrimination again African-Americans?
Here are the answers to those questions.
Neither party. Neither party. Neither party. Neither party. Neither party. Neither party.
