Treat Systemic Causes of Injustice

In all the 20/20 elections, please keep in mind that our president is a symptom, not the cause, of all our ills. Not excusing his bad behavior nor suggesting we don't need to treat the symptoms, but defeating him by itself is neither a treatment nor a cure for the disease that will continue to worsen if we do not seriously address the deep systemic causes:

  • economic injustice; 
  • threats to democracy, election integrity, civil discourse, the environment, health care, and  education; 
  • tribalisms including racism, ethnicism, sexism, and homophobia; 
  • endless wars;
  • and more.   

Look for candidates who can best understand and work to solve these crisis problems with bold systemic and cultural reforms.
