Neither the Republicans nor Democrats will take these up as major issues. There are real issues, which aren't even touched upon by our candidates or our media, because to do so would be too radical or liberal, so our own population is brainwashed in a cycle of arguing non-issues. Now in America, they aren't even on the agenda. Small farmers and small businesses are being forced out by huge corporations, mergers are concentrating their power, competition as we know it is threatened by mega-conglomerates, yet America is apathetic. The first Americans were businessmen, who wanted free enterprise, but never at the expense of the people, or the Democracy.
Prisons are a growing threat to our crime-breeding society, and is now the new slavery.
There are problems in this country which are appalling and obscene for such a rich nation, yet they are censored, and ignored. In general, democratic western countries have a variety of political ideologies on the debate floor. From these many opposing ideologies, compromise is reached. These ideologies always include a socialist left ideology, which is the strongest advocate of the lower class and labor class. Even this country had socialist representation, till we started hunting socialists down like Nazis during the McCarthy era.
