He is exactly who we need in the White House. It's too bad that he doesn't really have a chance. Definitely voting for him in the primary

Typical NSG political discussion. Resulting straight to insults.

Canada and NZ may not be socialist as such but they have great welfare and share socialist ideals. Canada has a free market but much better than America and rank in the top 5 for HDI.

Ireland was bailed out in 2008, but that's a terrible point as the US's banks were also bailed out. And they're unemployment rate is at 9.9% compared to Americas 5.5%, however only 5.5% of Irland are below the poverty line compared to Americas 14.5%.

Finland has the best education in the world with 100% literacy rate.

And they have lower migration rates because they have harsher migration laws compared to the US. Socialism won't work in America because of the rich are too selfish and no one wants to pay higher taxes.

Also I know you can't support legalizing drugs and win an election(because American's are fucking morons) but saying "I'm skeptical about legalizing marijuana" is pretty dumb.

What is there honestly to be skeptical of.

I know what socialism is, don't condescend me. However over years it's moved from government ownership to more political issues like wealth inequality and the government controlling sectors like health which in reality are better than a free market. And more people move to America than leaving America because of a few reasons. America accepts basically anyone, while other countries like Finland and Denmark don't accept you unless you have an in demand skill. The right loves to throw around socialist like it will be the down fall of America. America spends more of their GDP on health care than Norway does. Bernie won't take away your free market, or turn America into a communist shit hole. No one would allow that, nor he is that extreme as a socialist

Pretty sure I quoted this but whatever

"Yes, student loan debt is a problem, but Mr Sanders solution would only perpetuate the problem. The availability of government backed student loans is the reason college tuition has skyrocketed. It is the same principle that caused housing prices to skyrocket in the 90s and early 2000s. "


Not sure how i ended up quoting the socialism thing

China has managed too bring over 500 million people out of poverty and into middle class living with a consistent 10% GDP increase since 1978. You are a bit outdated bud, and quite rude.

The Wellesley Institute which is a non for profit health research centre in Toronto, even they think health care shouldn't be privatized.

http://www.wellesleyinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/privatizedhealthcarewontdeliver.pdf

Yes, America has the most medical discoveries, but it's disproportional. America has a population of 318 million, and you publish 1169 articles in the year 2009, compared to great Britian 180 articles, GB produces more medical research per person than the US does. Also Americas papers are of less significance to the medical world than others.

He is the only honest candidate who truly cares. I want a president who cares and who wants change. He does not put up with the bullshit you will see other candidates throwing. He has a much bigger chance of winning than you might think. I will be voting for him and you all better get your fucking heads straight and vote for him too. This is our chance to see some positive change in America, you all better not fuck this up.

This. While i do really like Sanders, he is very wrong on this issue. If ya want to eliminate student loan debt, privatize loans and give more public funding to universities (gasp). That being said he is still the best option. He could very well win, but he is refusing to take corporate money as a statement. Therefore, he has no chance.

I'm not at all suggesting you vote along party lines. More just curious what you think makes a candidate best for our country. For me if a candidate doesn't exist that fits my economic criteria I just don't vote. Since, economically speaking, these two are polar opposites I'm just wondering what you think makes them both worth voting for since they would take the country in complete opposite directions, which to me means one may be successful and one would probably fuck everything up. I know for me one is a maybe and the other is a fuck no based purely on his economic stance. I'm still on the fence if I'll end up voting in this election.

Hers my two sense i would rather have a president who is capable, and wanting to change the make up of our country. When you look at Hilary the only thing she stands for an promotes is blue line democrats bull shit of legalization and gay marage( not saying the topics are bullshit, but as a main political campaign it is.).... which if any one would look every single presidential candidate supports.... so a vote for Hillary is a vote for might as well be a vote for nothing.

I like Paul's governmental cuts( jot so much his double talk when it comes to a couple branches) and I enjoy his view on states rights.

If you really compare Bernie to Paul there are alot of similarities on what they want to do, but each have a different way of achieving it , some time drasticly different.

Thanks that actually clears things up. I hope I didn't come across as too abrasive I was genuinely curious. For me I fall somewhere in between the two of them, probably closer to Paul. But I do respect the nonconformist attitude of Bernie and to a lesser extend Paul. We need more politicians like that whether they're liberal or conservative.

His karma literally hasn't changed. And as for down votes, it was created to support/disagree with something without engaging in a discussion. So people disagree with him so they down vote him. It's pretty simple

I quite enjoy those who love socialism avoid using any of the inconvenient examples.

If you like it so much, go move to Venezuela, make sure to take plenty of toilet paper with you. It's a great place, barely any wealth inequality, because everyone has been made poor!

But does it? Don't the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Isn't the majority of population growth in the lower income brackets?

I see what you're saying about socialism, though I think "always" is a questionable adjective here. However, pure capitalism has a similar problem - in this case, however, it is not just the government who is greedy but BOTH the government and the rich. They get into bed together and the poor stay poor and grow in numbers. Who looks out for them?

I think what our forefathers did was truly brilliant. They imagined and implemented a system where (ideally) if the people called for the government to be more socialist, they could vote that. Ten years later, the people could change their mind and swing the other way. We have a unique balance that is being skewed by money in politics. That's my biggest gripe with our current "capitalist" mindset. Why do big companies get to influence the government? The people who work for them should get to vote, and that should be the extent of their say; they shouldn't be allowed to pour billions of dollars into politicians' pockets to buy votes. That would make our forefathers sick.

he's one of few politicians with a trustworthy record and has his sights set on changing a corrupt, broken political system. it baffles me that people are reluctant to stand behind that, because they are afraid of him believing that the government should actually serve the people it exists to serve in the first place.
