I'm pretty much an old white guy. 61, so maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit on "old," but close enough.

And I am sick to death of the leadership of old white guys. I was a Liberal living in Canada, so here in the States I'm definitely a "lunatic socialist" and it goes without saying that I vote progressive-liberal. With that number one priority in place, I vote for candidates that are, in no particular order:

Women

People of Color

Atheist or Agnostic

Aboriginal

Gay/Lesbian/Trans/Queer

Step aside old white guys. We haven't done that great a job and I believe there are better people to lead the next few decades.

Old white guys are destroying the economy, society and the planet. In the past they’d have all died off by now. They’re definitely past their sell-by date. Time to hand the reins over to a new cadre of leaders.

Although in the UK we have a younger and diverse set of politicians doing what the old white guys want because that’s where the money and power is.
