Wouldn’t it be nice

Wouldn’t it be nice if political conversations could focus on issues facing the country. Why can’t issues of health care, income inequality, policing, the role of the United States in the world, environmental decline, and even net neutrality be the focus of our discussions. I know attention to these important issues must be deferred. Until the rule of a racist, misogynist, egotist who is unable to appreciate the facts of science and a Senate leader manipulating the political process by unilaterally blocking votes on bills brought forward for consideration can be removed, we have fundamental flaws in leadership degrading our country. First things first.
