The issues that face the Nation

[Benton]

Eh, I dunno.

Both parties have done an excellent job for decades to steer campaigns towards a couple issues. Discussion — both on this board and 'on the street' — has fallen in line with that.

Republicans:
— Abortion
— Immigration
— National security

Dems:
— Wages
— Education
— Civil rights

Now, the extent of discussion is debatable. It's mostly one side saying how the other side is all wrong about that issue, and standing in the way of fixing it. But that's part of a national problem. We've lost the ability to communicate, to discuss, to disagree, both in personal relationships and in public ones.
