"The most important issue facing America in this election is ___________."

What is the most important issue facing America, the one that has to be dealt with now? Do you feel like the importance of this issue is so great that Democrats who fail to focus in on this as the key issue are either blind/misinformed, or willfully opposing progress? Has your connection to this issue influenced who you support in the Primary?

brought our political system. I think taking it back from money interests is item number one on our agenda, it shouldn't have to be so, but since it blocks our ability to work on our other problems it's got to be done.

I'm not a single issue voter.

Single issue voters (on both sides) pigeon hole them and reduce costs associated with gaining their support.

To get money out of politics by making college free in order to provide free healthcare to all so everyone can have a living wage and seniors can live in dignity without fear of preemptive wars filling the pockets of greedy billionaires so they can buy our politicians.
