    There is a serious problem and it is not with the liberal/left/Democratic party. The reason we are in this situation is because the conservatives are garbage people dragging this country down.

    The reason we are in this situation is because for centuries if not thousand of years rulers enslaved and beat up people to seize power.

    There’s a genocide going on right now where kids are being murdered daily, if you believe there’s not a problem in the current system you are complicit.

      This is not ancient history and the US is not unique in its genocidal actions. There is not a country that exists that has not engaged in this behavior.

      There are several genocides going on right now.

      I know there is a problem. In fact, I gather I know a lot more than you about it. Not disagreeing about that aspect at all.

      Having said that we are also experiencing far less genocide than any other time in history. It is weird to say it but things have gotten a lot better although I am sure the Palestinians, for example, would disagree.
