What are your top five issues in 2020?

[ch15x]

Climate Change---for obvious reasons; could relate to COVID-19/future pandemics
Economy/Inequality---current pandemic exposed things
Terrorism/National Security---related to Racial injustice
Infrastructure---for obvious reasons; current pandemic exposed things
Health Care---for obvious reasons; current pandemic exposed things

Economy
Racial Justice
The budget
Infrastructure
Foreign Relations

The only problem and the only thing we should focus on is corruption. I haven't forgotten that the NRA was funneling Russian money to the gop. Or how Lindsey Graham was a never Trumper, got hacked, and has now been on his dikk since.

Getting money out of politics and crony capitalism in general is a huge roadblock to fixing many of these issues. Gotta be #1.

after that healthcare, economic inequality, racial injustice and education are all immediate concerns

Climate change is such an uphill battle but we gotta start pushing at that too.. can be addressed better without crony capitalism and education reform

1. Corruption
2. Federal unemployment benefits/guidelines that make it easier for people to receive a commensurate wage
3. Increased affordability of Healthcare (at the very least we need a strong and serious public option and negotiation of prescription drug prices)
4. Education reform. I'd like to see the federal government reward school systems that equally distribute money per child across the system instead of based on local property tax. I've heard this referred to as bussing the dollars and not the people.
5. Police reform is a large one, but it's certainly more of a local and state issue for men than federal.
6. Increase in teacher pay
7. Real tax reform that makes the top percent pay their fair share.

@ COVID-19 not being number one.


There can be an extinction level event about to happen in the next 2 years and people will still care more about the economy and making money.

I'm not trying to downplay COVID at all, but in the long term climate change is far more likely to be an extinction level event than any coronavirus.

the irony is the economy is being exposed because humanity (and Americans) didn’t take it seriously.


It also exposed how the economy is tied to things people can do for themselves, but have been programmed not to by society.

Coronavirus
Economy
Foreign Policy
Racial Injustice/Criminal Justice
Climate Change

Same here.

Honestly I think there needs to be some degree of federal oversight for police departments. You can't trust them to deal with issues locally when police departments in bed with the local DAs.

As far as I'm concerned the feds need to just send special prosecutors to deal with police misconduct issues. Maybe have a department specifically for that.

1. Corruption

That should be definitely one of the choices.

@ COVID-19 not being number one.

COVID like a lot of what's been happening since 2017 is a symptom of corruption, racism, lack of education, and mismanaged healthcare. You don't really solve the COVID issue without dealing with those.

For the first part, that's why it's important to vote in good people in your local elections.

The second, of course, but I don't think that's enough to change their behavior even if it gets justice for a small percentage of victims.

1. Climate change is the ultimate compounder, it doesn’t matter if we address in the moment issues as they pop up. If we don’t do anything to address industrial emissions & ecological destruction we are fukked as a species. And all the effects of racial injustice, infectious disease, and economic inequality are going to be exponentially worse when climate & ecological structures breakdown.

The 2020 hurricane season is already projected to be bad, and states in the Southeast have all but come out and said they don’t have plans in place to accommodate social distancing in hurricane shelters. Can you imagine a Hurricane Michael or Harvey event in Florida this year? It’s going to be catastrophic.

2. I voted for racial injustice, coronavirus, economic equality, and foreign relations as well
