What's depressing about this election season for me is that despite police brutality against African Americans specifically being perhaps the biggest domestic issue this past year, I feel like it's going to be forgotten in the mix no matter who becomes president. I don't blame them, but I think Black Lives Matter has ultimately had little impact on the actual direction of the election.
The Republicans unanimously don't give a fuck, so it's a no-go there. But even on the Democrat's end, for such a massive and massively publicized issue in the media, it has been severely underrepresented or absent altogether from the debates, and I think that bodes extremely poorly for action after assuming office. My gut tells me Hillary doesn't have it on her radar, and for someone who will so quickly shift her tone to pander to whatever is trending at the moment, she hasn't done so in the face of Black Lives Matter protests. And while I think Bernie has acknowledged the issue a bit more (and gone even further with his prison system reform), I still do feel like it's going to hit the back burner for him since every time he opens his mouth he can't help but to bring it back to wall street speculation blah blah. I don't think he's a single issue candidate, but man, he does seem to have an affinity for some over others.
Kind of irrelevant to Super Tuesday I guess, but my 2c.
