    If Bernie doesn't get in, I'm voting Stein as a converted member to the Green Party. Screw the two party oligarchy. Until the faux liberal Dems stop kissing Wall Street and Monsanto ass, I'm not going back to their party.

    I'm with you!

    You should ask: "What is America doing right?".
    I think it's a much shorter list.

    The indiscriminate bombing of tens of thousands of Iraqi troops and civilians retreating from Kuwait is one of the most heinous war crimes in history.

    That would be Highway 1.

    They hate our freedoms.

    The cabs of trucks were bombed so much that they were pushed into the ground, and it’s impossible to see if they contain drivers or not. Windshields were melted away, and huge tanks were reduced to shrapnel.

    “Even in Vietnam I didn’t see anything like this. It’s pathetic,” said Major Bob Nugent, an Army intelligence officer. This one-sided carnage, this racist mass murder of Arab people, occurred while White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater promised that the US and its coalition partners would not attack Iraqi forces leaving Kuwait. This is surely one of the most heinous war crimes in contemporary history.

    They hate our democracy.

    A Newsweek article on Norman Schwarzkopt, titled “A Soldier of Conscience” (March 11,1991), remarked that before the ground war the general was only worried about “How long the world would stand by and watch the United States pound the living hell out of Iraq without saying, ‘Wait a minute – enough is enough.’ He [Schwarzkopf] itched to send ground troops to finish the job.” The pretext for massive extermination of Iraqi soldiers was the desire of the US to destroy Iraqi equipment. But in reality the plan was to prevent Iraqi soldiers from retreating at all. Powell remarked even before the start of the war that Iraqi soldiers knew that they had been sent to Kuwait to die. Rick Atkinson of the Washington Post reasoned that “the noose has been tightened” around Iraqi forces so effectively that “escape is impossible” (February 27, 1991). What all of this amounts to is not war but a massacre.

    What's wrong with the USA is our major contribution to this:

    August 20th was Earth Overshoot Day in 2013
    August 19th was Earth Overshoot Day in 2014
    August 13th was Earth Overshoot day in 2015.

    We're going the wrong direction.
