8. It's now a culture war, the spoils of which include the naming-rights to reality.

One side believes in fair play and reason; diversity, inclusion, woman's rights, LBGT rights and human rights worldwide; a decent and affordable education; science and innovation; having the mega-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share of taxes; collective bargaining in industry; clean drinking water, reduced air pollution and renewable energy sources; a Medicare-type, fully functioning health-insurance plan that covers pre-existing conditions; facing and fixing the shame of rampant homelessness in one of the world's wealthiest countries; re-establish that the U.S. government is understood to be a genuine friend to allies in Europe, Asia, wherever.

The other side? Just look at the list immediately above this paragraph. They want NONE of this. Not a shred. They have to go. VOTE Democratic!
