- I hate that we have a President that sides with our enemy against our own people, and intelligence agencies.
I hate that there isn't a litmus test to become president other than being at least 35 years old and born in America.
- I hate that our great country is being controlled by a foreign power and the party in charge is doing nothing about it.
- I hate that > 46% of our own citizens don't see the threat we are currently under and still support a treasonous president due to blind party loyalty.
- I hate that Russia totally dominates us now and has a free pass to continue hacking our elections and taking away our power to vote.
- I hate that I feel powerless to do anything other than email local officials which does next to nothing.
-Were our politicians controlled by a foreign power? If not, then the country isn't being controlled. If the US population isn't intelligent enough to avoid being controlled by posts on social media and on TV, blame the education system's curriculum. Blame parents. Blame the people who could vote, but don't. Blame the people who don't care.
-If people are on the fence just before they vote, they need to take the time to become educated about the issues, the candidates and how this process needs to work.
-We need to re-tool the election process. Too much bullcrap is spewed by each side, as a way to stop people voting for the opponents. The GOP rolling out a clown car full of weak candidates was a mockery of the system, but the DNC couldn't decide what they wanted to be, other than overtly black-balling Sanders. In 2012, Obama and Romney spent $2.1 BILLION in their quest for the Presidency and about $7 BILLION was spent by all candidates and in 2016, it was about $6.8 Billion! That's insane!
What better uses could that money have been used for?
46% may not see the threat, but in 2017, ~16% of High School seniors didn't graduate. Over 30 million US adults can't read.
I thought 2008-2016 was the most contentious time I can remember WRT the political parties and I have a great memory. I was wrong. The loss of civility is causing this country to tear itself apart and people are unable to see the effects of what they wrote because it was a REaction to something else and because they don't bother to edit it after they have cooled down. If they don't cool down, it's because they no longer can and they need help. The name-calling, insulting the intelligence of others, lack of ability to see that their own candidate could possibly have faults, on BOTH sides, are pathetic. The claims of racism where it doesn't fit, by people who have never experienced it and seem to think they were asked to be outraged by another group are pissing people off and that's a dangerous thing to do- it is possible to not agree with a (half) Black POTUS because of his ideas without race having anything to do with it, but too many people just won't see that.
I hate that people don't take a few seconds to think about what they're about to say, do and write before they do it. I hate that my neighborhood had prowlers, once again.
I don't hate much, but there's a lot that disappoints me. It's 2018- we're better than this.
