So many vital issues left largely unaddresed in this primary. It is kind of depressing.

One thing the United States should invest heavily in is eradicating malaria, a disease that takes 750,000 lives a year. No one talks about that.

What about getting behind the housing first movement? Any takers? Not a word about it.

How about seriously addressing racial inequalities in educational opportunity? Passing lip service is all I have seen.

And don't get me started about the many animal welfare issues that are always ignored by politicians.

Mass incarceration has been discussed (yay), but what about eliminating the torture of solitary confinement? Or making jails and prisons safe? Or eliminating disproportionate punishments?

Is any candidate worried about the fact that we have a policy of assassinating American citizens without judicial oversight?

I haven't heard anything about the devastating effects of the drug war on Mexico.

How about immigrant deaths near the border?

And I would think this would be worth addressing:

Some 21,000 children die every day around the world.

That is equivalent to:
•1 child dying every 4 seconds
•14 children dying every minute
•A 2011 Libya conflict-scale death toll every day
•A 2010 Haiti earthquake occurring every 10 days
•A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring every 11 days
•An Iraq-scale death toll every 19–46 days
•Just under 7.6 million children dying every year
•Some 92 million children dying between 2000 and 2010

1. Regarding animal welfare:

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/protecting-animals-and-wildlife/

Sounds stupid to some but reason enough to vote for her.

4. I am familiar with her record on animal welfare issues. Bernie's record is better.

But when all is said and done, both are human supremacists.

2. Just wait, that will come. Right now Hillary has to fight the battle at hand to win the war. nt

6. And yet Bernie could walk and chew gum at the same time.

That's why we are his supporters. He's the real deal. He will do what he says. And he addresses the issues, not hides from them (like Clinton has in order to leave her free for later triangulation/weathervaning).

3. Come on, the focus is on money

At least with the DNC Democrats. We have so much to fix that sometimes I think that Bernie's "Huge pie in the sky ideas" are really the "small incremental steps" of reality.

Up is down and down is up.

5. either someone plugs the leaks in our boat

or there will be a real mean scramble towards the end.

7. It's true there are so many issues that have got no attention.
