The best thing that could happen to this country, in this election, is a complete wipeout, a total annihilation of the Democratic party. This way the Democrats can purge themselves of the evil that has taken it over while Republicans administer basic societal standards.

Not if we keep election fascists. Every vote for Biden takes away a vote for the Green Party. #UnitedLeft #UniteGreen
Kamalla's record on jailing parents for truancy rather than ensure people have living wages doesn't give me much hope @ all for Dem leadership. DNC convention = GOP convention in the 2000's. Waiting For SuperMan documentary era. Betsy Devos capitalized off that too.

Children and families - so children have higher chance of the environment they need; more time at home for parents, less financial stress, etc.

Change it to what? We are the wealthiest nation in world, with a constitution that offers the greatest individual freedom in the world, with the greatest military in the world. Five months ago, pre-COVID, nearly everyone was employed, wages were rising and people were happy.

Agree. Also, children and young people impress me more, and have better ideas and policies than sooo many adults!

Can you give some examples? Too abstract for my limited brain to see what you mean...

I kinda disagree with this. Obviously, children need more resources, but I think that for a long time liberals with their "education, education, education" talk have used focusing on the children to distract us from the truth. Everyone deserves enough to live with dignity.

We can't just pour money, education itself needs a rethink. And this isn't possible without somehow disrupting current regime of technocratic experts, that now would be tasked with handling increased funding—otherwise all this money would only further the reign of mere quantity.
