Issues
Land
The United States of America was founded upon the genocide of an entire indigenous people group who lived on this continent for thousands of years prior to European settlement.
Environment
The earth's climate has destabilized to a point where the life and future of all things is in precarious condition.
Food & Farmers
Many of us have become disconnected from where our food comes from. Very few of us are independently able to sustain our own food sources. We depend on farmers. Without them, many people would starve and die.
Healthcare
Given the modern capabilities that we have achieved as a species, all forms of healthcare should cost a negligible financial amount or be free of charge. As an altruistic system designed to help and heal people, there can be no for-profit corruption within the healthcare system.
Women's Rights & Health
Women have been attacked since the beginning of the human species, and they are currently being attacked in every part of the world. They are attacked physically by human hands and weapons, and they are attacked systemically through legislature, through worldviews, and through beliefs.
Children
We have forsaken our children. We have abandoned their health, their education, their well-being, and their right to freedom and safety and joy. We have failed to protect them from child sexual abuse, trafficking, technology, and violence. School shootings. School shootings. We have allowed this incredible violence to enter and takeover children's safe spaces and be commonplace.
Morality
The United States is experiencing a crisis of violence, rape, femicide, human trafficking, child abuse, child sexual abuse, murder, and corruption. Women and children are being tortured and killed at rates that I have never seen before.
Economy & Debt
The economy is not currently able to sustain livable conditions for American citizens. Many of the issues are a result of oligarchical control of leadership positions within the government.
Jobs
Unlike many politicians, I will not simply attempt to "create jobs" in an arbitrary and unexplained manner. Oftentimes, the creation of jobs is highlighted and touted by politicians or political candidates without further elaboration.
Immigration
Many of the problems with immigration at the southern border are due to the issues that Central and South Americans are experiencing in their own countries. They cannot be blamed or punished for seeking a better life for themselves, and the United States cannot simply close its borders to them.
Foreign Policy
The United States has historically participated in wars that are deemed important by corrupt political leaders with nefarious motives. It is now time for the United States to go to war for the right purposes.
Tax Reform
Our current tax system is in need of widespread reform, if not total replacement. Too long has the system been out of touch with the financial capabilities of the average American citizen.
Law Enforcement
Police and federal law enforcement agencies have been and are currently being hijacked and mobilized to commit crimes against humanity among American citizens.
Firearms
Americans, and all people, have the right to protect themselves and ensure their personal safety. Because guns exist, and governments and militaries have access to them, civilians must also.
