a lot of the questions that lead to those results were just plain not good enough, because I didn't agree with any of the options. I suppose that reflects the candidates, though... I can't really agree with any of them, either.
my two biggest issues are addressing climate change (and I think cyclists rights are an important part of that) and decreasing military spending.
I think huge spending cuts are necessary, but I'd take them all from wasteful endeavors like subsidies for unsustainable industries and war. especially since we have been outsourcing a good portion of our military action, that shit costs ten times as much as if we'd been doing it ourselves. and then theres haliburten and lockheed martin. relatively speaking, the actual soldiers are not getting paid anything. particularly considering the job description these days includes a likelyhood of injury, death, or post traumatic stress disorder, which might lead to divorce or suicide, not to mention its own inherent ills.
the mention of lockheed martin brings me to a third issue, which is that I can only support a candidate whose preference is entirely anti nuclear.
but you've heard it all before... it's just that I don't see those priorities represented by any candidates.
