What is missing from both national conventions?

Are both national conventions too American?  What is missing?

1.  No mention of the huge role our military contractors have played in the militarization of the world; no pledge to end it.

2.  No recognition of how U.S. imperialism in Iraq helped create ISIS.

3.  No recognition of the huge role the rich, white, male elite, from the founding fathers to 2016, have played in both creating and maintaining multiple system of oppression such as slavery and mass incarceration.

4.  No urgent call for whites to confess, repent, restitute and repair.

5.  Only weak support of BLM

6.  No pledge to close 75 % of our military bases around the world.

7.  No proposal to cut our military budget by 50%; use released funds for infrastructure rebuilding, college education, etc

8.  No call for all police chiefs in America to issue an immediate cease and desist order requiring an end to all DWB traffic stops.

9.  The Audacity of Hope requires justice which requires deep white repentance which should be lead by white churches.
