The 2016 American Election - General Discussion Thread

Do I think Bernie is better than Hillary. Hell yes. Do I think Bernie will be good for America ... NO!. All his talking points do sound dam good till you start questioning how the things he endorses will get paid for. Then you realize it's via increased taxes on everyone.

Hillary was the establishment candidate/favourite in 2008 and we all know what happened next. Don't count Sanders out yet. The same reasons Democratic primary voters didn't vote for clinton in 2008 are still there.

With some more reasons popping up sense then.


Hillary Clinton is like pop music. She's bland and inoffensive and has no controversial opinions. She tries to be good for everyone but she's actually good for nobody.
RationalWiki has put Hillary in the "Centrist Stupidity" category for a reason.

For all Americans wanting a shake up of the system, Sanders is the best choice. His ideas of shaking up the system are not the ideas of Nut Jobs, like seen in the Republican candidates.

Have you given any consideration to the fucking cost of everything that he wants to make "free"?
It's like my free Ontario health care that costs me over $2400/year.

If we lived in a sane world then the tax burden would be on the upper class.
In the current system, the tax burden is on the middle class and the upper class has become a sort of royal aristocracy.
I don't agree with the people who say "business owners create wealth". The workers create wealth. Every country in existence was built by the working class. The workers create wealth and prosperity.

That Healthcare is relatively cheap for what you get.
