Climate Change -- serious global issue. Likely too late to mitigate very much. Long term issue.
Ukraine -- a global destabilizing issue -- need to put Putin back in his cage. War criminal.
Trump -- public enemy number one is his own worst enemy. Will be indicted. Convicted.

LGB^/transgenderism -- of no special importance other than to have right-wingers ****!
Abortion -- The greatest mass genocide of the most vulnerable human beings that exist...carried out by the most depraved and evil that exist, even though, incredibly, (as they wantonly execute babies) they actually think they aren't.

Climate Change -- A serious problem...that the worst culprits are the ones that flap their mouths about it the most.
Unless you have stopped with the yachts & cruise ships, private jets (or any unnecessary air travel), sporting and entertainment events that gather 80,000 people to a stadium (watch the broadcast), unnecessary driving, recreational vehicles, house with the HVAC cranked up, etc....you have no standing to complain, so SHUTUP & SHUTUP SHUTTINUP.
This would include electric vehicles...because most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal & gas).

Ukraine --The most corrupt Country in Europe, but for some reason we help them in a way we do not help others (nor did we help them in the past). Only now that their government Energy Co fed the Biden family millions, and refused to check into it even though the previous POTUS asked them to...we give them more money in 6 months than Russias annual Defense Budget.

Trump -- Part of the long line of very flawed Chief Executives we've had...no better or worse than most of them.

The biggest problem: Science & Technology...it has derivatively destroyed the ecosystem and filled the world with bombs and armaments so powerful they could lay waste to the entire world many times over.
It has also created a virtual world most (including me) spend a great part of their waking life in, rather than real, direct interactions.

No reply to post #60 about are you willing to cut your carbon footprint by 80%...thus, this thread is idealogical mental masturbation.

For me the #1 would be the economy/inflation.

It is utterly bizarre that a survey over the most important issues facing Americans would include transgenderism but not the economy.

Extreme wealth/income inequality. If we could significantly address that one, then I think most of the other concerns and issues out there would mostly figure themselves out.

This 10 year old video mostly sums it up for me, and the whole situation is probably even more extreme now (plus inflation):

And no, I am not a socialist. I like capitalism and am all for it. I think extreme wealth and income inequality is bad for capitalism and the health of the free market.

It wasn't on there. If it was it would read Borok Hussien Farakhan, Robert "Kkk" Byrd, Joe "Lock em up" Biden, Jussie Smollet, and now John "Shotgun" Fetterman, and Katie "Karen" Hobbs

We are above average at nearly 70 degrees one day and in the 30's the next day. That flood was a nightmare and we still don't have all of the damage repaired. So EEEXXXCCCUUUSSSEEE me. I don't ever want to go through that again. We just installed an $11,000 dollar flood control system. I see how bizarre the weather is now. I have a rose bush blooming. That shouldn't be. I saw Yosemite dying in 2019. It was a sad shadow of what I remembered to be in the 80's. So yes, climate change is definitely a concern.

I found this absolute gem of a pristine crystal clear lake about an hour and a half from our house. After a swim you felt as clean as if you had just taken a shower. It's extremely rare to find anything like that around here. I'd love to live on that kind of planet vs the cess pool we have created. Clean is better.
You know, flood damage is not new. Just ask Noah.

You've got that wrong...they were protesting the contravention of our Democracy.
They got a little too feisty about it...but not too bad. I've seen worse at concerts and celebration of sports wins.
The only "denying" going on relative to the election is about the fraudulent manipulation of the information that the electorate uses to make the determination who is best to vote for.
Outright lies to the whole Country during a Presidental debate (that the laptop is "Russian Disinformation")...and the left side of Government making up documents supporting that lie. The Government working with Mainstream/Social Media to scrub and suppress any factual negative information on one Candidate, while perpetuating false negative information about the other.
THAT is what defiled Democracy in the last two elections...and it wasn't by the Republicans.

It's because when the left actually look at what they whine about 24/7 it looks just as stupid to them as everyone else.
