Can't help but notice that there aren't any Democrats actually answering the question yet.
So what else do you expect?
And why do you think that is? Could it be the biased poll or the overt disrespect that we receive? What do I expect? Honestly, I've been here long enough that I don't expect anything better.
The lack of courage and ethics among most of the population. It's not just politicians. It's all of of us.
I agree, the populace often scapegoats the politicians. Our politicians may not be the greatest although our population has proven to be problematic as well. It isn't the politicians that are shooting up bars. The politicians aren't usually drug addicted lifelong criminals, or violent felons. Politicians don't usually sleep until noon and get no work done types either. There is a disconnect between our populace's expectations, and what they actually warrant when compared to other nation's populaces.
The issue NONE of parties are giving due consideration is lack of affordable housing. Could it be because both elected Demos and Pubes are RICH or paid to represent the rich. They simply dont see the problems of life at low end. This is an issue that will come back to bite whole country in the buttocks over and over again. As will climate change. Apparently those at top cant see the VAST INCREASE in extreme weather events. Its not just warmer air temps, its weather responding warmer oceans and air and becoming more unstable. Private insurance companies will just stop insuring some areas of the country. So much for answer by capitalism.
And no trying to make everything electric powered isnt the cure. Mining and manufacturing itself is a big factor. As is increased energy to deal with changing and more extreme weather.
It is interesting how current events are mirroring events from century ago. Lookie at the Roaring Twenties. And what came next? Looking forward to modern iteration of the depressing thirties. Dont deal with housing and its a certainty. Along with modern version of the dust bowl, lack of rain in western states sure looks familiar, huh? But instead arguing over narcissistic nazis and pretend socialists. Both bought and paid for corporate apologists to give illusion of choice. Get a clue folks.

Yes, homelessness and not having affordable housing for low income Americans are big issues in our country today and it needs to be addressed. Those with mental and drug issues who are homeless is another issue that needs addressing. Those problems continue to get worse every day.
So this is just another poll to insult democrats? The right is always talking about what THEY think the left believes and then laughing at them, but rarely do they ask them and even when they do, they frame it in a way to insult them. The right doesn't need to tell the left what they think and when they ask, if they even care, they shouldn't just give them the talking points from the right to choose from.
Forgive them, for they know not.

Honest, sincere conversation with a modicum of intelligence.

Fear not, there are plenty of good Republicans that share our concerns for this country. They are not here, apparently.

An extremely tight Thanksgiving and Christmas budgets and a freezing cold winter since many democrats supporters can’t afford to warm their houses and feed their families might change a few minds on what is really important.
I find it interesting that you (and others) do not seem to understand that much of what we face is the outcome of collective forces, uncontrollable by politics. I know it is natural for you to want to blame; I see a lot of that here. In truth, we all deal with poor decision making done in the face of too little information or time. There is no one to blame, and the divisiveness between our political parties makes the situations worse.
If you truly cared about this country's future, you would be seeking common grounds and ways we could work together.
