This is my reply to another user in a different thread that I feel people should see. Maybe I can sway a few people. [quote]Believe it or not, I've read into every candidate that is currently running. I'm well aware of Hillary's scandals and populous politics that she swears is consistent. She is certainly not a viable candidate based in how her views can sporadically change to fit the majority, and that can lead to serious conflict with other nations. I'm well aware that Bernie is a [b][u]Democratic socialist[/u][/b] whom is pushing for economic reform in social programs. Things that need reform like social security and health care. Sure he'll raise taxes, but it's for certain things that help everyone. Nobody wants to pay for something so necessary as health. He's the most levelheaded candidate whose stuck to his views over the years and is the most politically experienced, passing more amendments than anyone in history. Notable republicans have stated that he's "out-republicaned the republicans" and he's often called the amendment king. There are a few things on his agenda that I don't agree with such as free schooling and welfare for those that don't work. But he is also pushing for drug testing on welfare which is a huge step forward. Then there's Trump. The only other viable candidate. I do appreciate his policies towards the military on a family level and of course his attempt to tackle a long term problem like Immigration. Though people don't realize that this wall he wants to build will coat over $10 billion. That doesn't grow on trees, it will be through taxes, similar to what Bernie gets hate for. I personally don't mind taxes, but racism is something I can't tolerate. And yes, he is racist. In a recent interview, he was asked about his trial for trump university. He brought up the fact that the judge is Mexican. Then when the interviewer asks, "are you saying that he can't do his job correctly because he's Mexican?" Trump interrupts with, "now he is of Mexican heritage, and he's very proud of that. But I'm building a wall." And he said that over and over again, as if a broken record. He never actually answered the question, almost insinuating that the judge would be deported because of his heritage, even though he was born in Indiana. He denied ever having knowledge of David Duke even though he had called him the problem of the Republican Party for being a racist and a bigot years prior. He's a liar and it's safe to assume he's a racist. I mean he's also said that all Muslims are un-American. So yeah, I don't agree with anyone else's polices based on what I've heard directly from each horses mouth, rather than what Fox News or NBC has told me to believe.[/quote] Bernie supporters get a lot of shit for "being uneducated voters," when in actuality, I've seen more uninformed voters for the other two candidates Regardless, I've put time into my decision, rather than hearing "I'm building a wall. Let's make America great again." And then criticizing others' intelligence for their opinions when they've actually done their homework. Each candidate has their positives and negatives and to me, the key negatives stand out in Clinton and Trump more so than Sanders. He may lose, but there isn't anyone else up there that I'd rather have in office.
