I love how so many Americans staunchly and aggressively proclaim none of these issues (or the multitude of others not listed) just simply don't exist.

Then after a quick google, may agree they exist but only "not in my backyard, therefore it doesn't really happen".

Then with some realization hopefully see it happens not only right where they live but the entire country. But that last part is rare.

And generally the best outcome is "well if you vote for my guy, everything will be solved". Ignoring the 99% of issues that the 2 main parties agree on but create too many profits for donors to ever be looked at.

Other countries would be called olagarchies when a few rich people get their interests catered to and everyone else is along for the rude. Other countries are called theocracies that offer a far greater actual religious freedom than the US and do not enact Christian/Catholic laws like abortion and 10 commandments in schools. I can keep going for hours. But those that get it, already got it. And those that don't, won't ever until they escape American propaganda.

The downvotes by ignorant Americans are welcome.
