Seriously guys? Bernie? Come on... You'll finish destroying your country with that guy after Obama, same if Hilary wins...

The only two options you have are either Carson or Trump...

Both will legalize minus the populism and empty headed crypto-communism Bernie is trying to sneak in a la Obama...

Carson the nutjob theocrat or Trump the nutjob fascist.

Haha no thanks.


They are by no means perfect, but are not working with the same crypto-communist agenda as Obama, Bernie and Hilary...

Carson and Trump at least tell you the truth of what their agenda is, you can see them coming from miles away...

The others will sneak up from behind you and plug your behind with many things a la Obamacare, etc...

Your choice though, but think it through, don't buy into populist speeches...

Yeah unfortunately in our system you get to pick the best of the worst. In other words you eliminate Hilary for obvious reasons , eliminate trump because he is crazy etc and you get what I mean. Vote against your worst candidate no matter what. I'm not happy either way

Sanders is the best dog in the race by far. I'm good. The real race is between Hillary and Sanders. I don't mean to piss off any conservatives on here but the GOP has no shot in winning unless they cheat.

The fact that democrats would even think about electing a Socialist really isn't shocking. At least Bernie has the balls to admit he's what the democratic party has been all along. If an avowed Communist was running against a Republican you guys would vote for him.
I'm not a republican either. Independent and vote for neither of the 2 major parties.

I USED to be a Republican, solely because of the constant 2nd Amendment fighting. a prototypical single issue voter. now, i'm not so worried since the Supreme Court has issued a few rulings on the subject. now, my issue is cannabis, and how to decrim/delist/legalize it so no one else has their lives ruined by bullshit hypocritical prohibition. if it takes electing a Socialist to get it done, i'm all in. the other candidates COULD take notice of how the voters poll on the subject instead of listening to LEO/prison owners & then whining "but what about the CHILDREN?" I say "FUCK your children! teach them to behave the way you want & stop using them as pawns in a sick game of "who can we persecute for profit today? :moon:

Without getting too far into the weeds in a political debate, I agree with a few... only a few... of bernie's ideas, but they are big ones. State-funded college tuition, delisting MJ, ending private jails, and repealing citizens united. Most of the stuff he wants still has to go through congress, guys. Don't forget that. If you're afraid of voting for a principled candidate who has the best interest of everyone at heart because some of his ideas are too far out there... I honestly wouldn't (and don't) worry. Most of his stuff will never make it past the house, let alone senate.

Carson is a good man, but he doesn't understand economics at all. That might be funny to hear coming from a Bernie supporter, but there are many economies built on the same foundation Bernie wants to utilize. There are only a handful of (mostly former Soviet-bloc) countries like Estonia who use a flat tax. That just can't work in such a large country like the United States. And Trump? Trump has zero redeeming qualities. He would be as bad for the country as Hillary.

But yeah, Bernie is my man. We either have to go full steam ahead a la Bernie Sanders, or full steam reverse a la Ron Paul. Sadly, the good doctor is not running this year.
