other things are more important -- increased funding for public schools, federal protection for womens' reproductive rights, improved public health care, an enforceable national living wage, survival of the Social Security benefit, more general aid for poor people, increased funding for pure science research of no immediate commercial value, preservation of publicly-held wilderness, and systematic movement toward a general and universal public health care system.
