- androidbishop 3y agoI enthusiastically support this list
- toomuchtodo 3y agoWould add "encouraging public policy around walkable communities" to your already top notch list. chef kiss
- eldritch_4ier 3y agoThis list is biased in a few ways, so it’s harder to calm these “major problems” when some of them are just fear mongered out of proportion. To round it out though, here’s another list: Uplifting the many men falling out of society Protecting children and their parental rights Reforming harmful public sector unions like schools and police Eliminating systemically racist anti white laws in everything from affirmative action to farm subsidies Eliminating anti white bias in hiring Reversing the rapidly declining birth rates Reducing the normalization of sexual degeneracy from porn addiction to the proliferation of digital prostitution (onlyfans) Reversing the declining trust in institutions (media, public health, DOJ, etc)
- local_issues 3y agoThe rise of the far right is in large part due to mainline society failing to "Uplifting the many men falling out of society", "Protecting children and their parental rights", and "Reversing the declining trust in institutions (media, public health, DOJ, etc)" The Left doesn't believe these are issues, but are instead moral failings or the result of a reduction in privilege by cishet white men. Their statements to that effect have pushed ~a dozen of my friends from D to R voters.
