Statement: the ghost of Americas past

As an American with Asperger's Syndrome, from the earliest age, it's been a hard road... and there wasn't really a place in the community, nor services that built a bridge from a created hell to things like life and employment... our graveyards, hospitals and prisons are full of those who didn't fit into the present economic order... regarding the latter repository, we have the highest percentage rate of incarceration in the entire world at a cost of over $50,000 a prisoner, not to mention the atrocious moral cost.
We must not continue this status quo pattern of American politcs, which has been in the bigger picture a conservative ascension(within both parties...) an eternal slashing of taxes and food aid budgets under the Clintons, the Bushes, etc...
What we should do is find innovative solutions to our nation's challenges... and make saving lives a priority. Because these conventional conservative bullet points kill... to be perfectly frank... what is being discussed is taking bread away from hungry children, and constitutional/civil rights away from American citizens. To be clear, there's nothing Christian about it.
Our nation stands deeply divided today... and it should be... We should come together to keep the peace, and to find solutions for the future. But marginalized citizens are being put in an unconstitutional situation.... having to follow a hundred government rules and live in fear of government batons and guns, but not having real civil rights or bridges toward better lives.... often toward any lives at all... This is un-constitutional, un-American... and murderous.
On a closing note, I must express frustration with the pollsters who gave the people the impression Clinton was to comfortably win... thus de-motivating the Democratic vote, and sparing the glass ceiling. It would be improper to say the election was illegitimate, truly, but this factor did wrong millions of voters, and the American left and nation more broadly.
