I'll add free school to that. If I had to pick just one, it would be proportional representation. It would basically end the Conservatives as they are today.

Climate change. No other issue has the possibility to screw over not only this generation, and the next generation, amd the one after that, but all of humanity the world over for centuries to come. And all of the non-human life as well, for what it's worth.
I can't even believe it's a fucking politicized issue.

In a world that isn't the current circus the US has for it's elections: probably education. I think it's at the root of everything else. The more educated our current and future generations are the more likely I believe all the other issues I care about will be addressed.

Income inequality due to the near-universal effect it has on our populace. There are a lot of other problems that ultimately trace back in part to income inequality.
Having to choose between these things is why I can't legitimately be a single-issue voter. The world is complicated and we need representatives who have a firm grasp on each of these issues.

For me, being a Christian, it would have to be matter of human life because I believe that to be the most sacred thing for obvious reasons. Abortion would be it, but I hate even quantifying it as a "political issue" since it is a much broader issue than just a checkbox for the Republican party.
If I had to go strictly political probably the rate of poverty in American cities. There is an undeniable problem with any country that has some of the most affluent institutions yet has such an epidemic of poverty. While I know the poor will always exist to some extent I believe there is more we could be doing to help out those who are truly unable to help themselves.

I agree. The world would be a better place if my only criterion for a promising candidate could be social liberalism.

Electoral reform, from every angle. (Access, modernized systems, killing gerrymandering, reevaluating the electoral college, etc.)

Quality health and social care for all who need it. I'd love to say the environment but it's a global issue. Very few nations can make a dent in climate change alone.

In Canada, I kind of like FPTP, because it gives us majorities. now majorities can suck, because parliament can just ram stuff through. But sometimes ramming stuff through is good. Electoral reform may just end up producing endless minority governments. We may see fascist parties come about like in Europe.
I dunno. Sure, the Tories sucked, but the Liberals are going to undo so much of their damage with a stroke of a pen. Basically, if the Liberals implement controversial policy this round, electoral reform may end up creating a system where no one will ever have enough votes to undo their actions.
I don't want to end up like the US and create a system where the Prime Minister is severely handcuffed by parliament.

African-American issue's(like reparations).
Income inequality, because as others have said solving it would help with many related issues, whereas there are other issues wherein focusing on them isn't optimal because even though they're significant, fixing them wouldn't have as significant of an effect on other issues. In this sense income inequality is a bit of a cop-out because of how broad it is compared to other "political issues," but I'm sticking with it.

I can handle having no rights as a black gay atheist man and being broke and poor with no health care or whatever, just don't take away my unfiltered internet.

Only four out of fifty of the posts on the first page mentioned climate change, which is the only issue that could actually end our species. So..

Give them all the money so we can build a galactic empire before Earth is a dust ball.
That's probably my real answer. Very little is gonna be solved politically until politics are proper fixed.

Since racial justice and equality will never actually be a thing, I guess my next best bet is income inequality.
They'll never actually deal with that either

Foreign policy and rolling back American involvement abroad
I see most of the issues our country has are tied somehow to foreign involvement, scaling that back would prevent future issues
that or tackling wealth inequality and increasing taxes on the top 1%

Just saw this.
The bolded one is a great pick. I haven't gone to a dentist in a few years and my teeth hurt, but I don't have benefits and know it'll cost me a ton. I don't have an income and am hoping/waiting for disability.

This.
Edit:
This too:
It's the same thing. Just can't emphasize enough that all the other issues are minuscule, or petty compared to climate change.
Bingo. I'm not a teacher, but I care a lot about the public education system in the US.
