Ouch... Looks like all the democratic sheep are restless. Don't like all the evidence I've provided that shatters their mistaken belief they've had for years that the United States is a democracy, huh? Guess the truth hurts.They'll get over it... Eventually.
In all honesty you've swayed a couple people, OV included.

One think I'd love to see from the next president is more focus on America. We have plenty of problems here, we shouldn't be trying to fix any problems elsewhere until we have solved all our problems here. There are obviously problems that can never be 100% fixed, but we need to get as close to 100% as possible before we begin to look to other countries and what we can do to help them.
This may sound harsh, but I'm burnt out at hearing about all the other countries we need to help. This is why I'd make a terrible president though. I'd of dropped a nuke on ISIS a long time ago.

That's not harsh and that is one of the things I have always stated.
Americans may not want to talk about the ugly side of the US but we are not a rich and prosperous country. Hundreds of thousands of children go hungry each day. Many Americans cannot even afford their utilities. We have millions of homeless.
Shouldn't we be ashamed of that? Why do we think we are great when we spend hundreds of billions on anything but fixing this issues?
Sure, money doesn't solve all the problems.
See and you almost feel like you are wrong to say certain things. Like I applaud the people who go to other countries to help the poor or the sick but..we need help with that here too. There are people who would jump on you for that statement despite the fact it is 100% true.
What was that line from the shitty Notorious BIG movie? Oh I remember, something like "we can't help each other until we help ourselves". Preach it BIG.
From what I've seen of the republican side most aren't too caught up in everybody eating, having shelter or stuff like that.
A president should first and foremost care for the wellbeing of his/her people. Any president's main priority should be alleviate the pressing hunger and health concerns in the nation, not ****ing tax exempts for fatcats who supposedly work "oh so hard".

Shame that we see this in so many countries.
The papers here keep talking about how grateful we should be to be living in the world's something-est country. Richest, greatest, most developed, some bullshit.
There are still thousands of kids who don't know when or how they're getting their next meal.
Meanwhile national politicians are caught up in whether or not we should accept 10 000 refugees from syria and how many billions we should send the warlords of africa.

One of the ironies of becoming super rich and famous is that the more money in your wallet, the less you end paying for yourself. Tax exemptions, comped meals, government subsidies, etc. In the name of enshrining personal property, Republicans try to make an unequal system even more unequal.
Yet the clintons make 30 million a year for personal income. A modest living for people too aspire too.
But hey the street is only one way in politics.
