If that is not enough there is not enough
Hillary says that ISIS is the biggest threat She is delusional or a liar FEAR that is her game
Sanders understands that the biggest threat is our relationship to the environment He is correct.
Air climate change and the 1000's of chemicals we pump into that stuff that you must have
Water Lakes, rivers, streams, oceans they are in trouble 12 billion spent on bottled water?
Food we have a system that is not sustainable -
Education, Healthcare, Housing, Income, Transportation, Energy... We must get these right.
We can not fix the world but we can be an example of how to do all these thing right.
I will add to the list this Relationships
Your relationship to yourself, to those you love, to those you work with work for and those who work for you -
Relations between organization businesses countries... All relationships
A country that directs it's education system toward fixing the problems in these areas will win.

(16,631 posts)Yes, Qaddafi was a monster--but we tolerate, even support, way worse monsters
Qaddafi had taken a turn toward the West
had billions in Libyan sovereign wealth funds that Wall Street wanted access to
With Libya in chaos, ISIS found a safe space
Same with Syria---yes Assad is a monster, but, again, we support way worse monsters
So Hillary pushed Obama to arm Syrian rebels....now ISIS has an even bigger space
Hillary learned NOTHING from her vote for the Iraq fiasco
Hillary is a NEO CON, a War Mongerer
As Bernie wisely noted: if you topple Assad or create chaos in Syria, what was your plan for the day after?
Were there democratic institutions in place already?
Was there a plan to deal with the ensuing chaos?
NOPE

(9,822 posts)The reason we've got to have Bernie and that we can't afford Hillary is that he can tell the Big Truth and she cannot.
Gar Alperovitz, David Korten, Gus Speth, Pope Francis, Wendell Berry, James Hansen, Lester Brown... and on and on. These are clear voices for how to continue life on this planet, but they're not going to be heard through a Clinton administration. The only hope for such a hearing and such plans, in my view, is to elect one who's not ambitious but who's come to this moment with a lifetime of integrity and a big vision.
