Who do you want to see win the 2016 presidential elections?

[Abu-Jafar Herz]

I personally feel that Bernie Sanders is a great candidate who will focus on the middle class and help bring down big cooperations running the show.

[Akbar673]

Bernie has my vote !!!

[Abu-Jafar Herz]

Bernie Sanders

Want? None of the above! They're all politicians. 

But of the listed options, my guess is Sanders would cause the least harm.

[notme]

Did somebody actually pick Trump, or were they just trolling? Come on, 'fess up.

[Haji 2003]

I voted for Clinton, because I was working on the idea of choosing someone who has a chance of winning. If it seems Sanders could win, I'd vote for him.

 

[Marbles]

There's an assumption that they are all different people...

[Haji 2003]

Are you plebs able to see who voted for whom? Or is that function only available to Mods/Admins?

Does his name start with a B?

[Sumerian]

Lol :p

[notme]

Oh, heh, I can see who picked which. I didn't realize that. So I'm going to assume those who picked Trump were trolling.

Hello,

I voted for Trump.  I do not agree with all he says but I agree with enough.  And, as Thomas Jefferson wrote, "A little rebellion now and then is a good thing."

All the Best,

David

PS: Iran has a big election coming up in February.  Is there a thread  for that?

Could you tell me what you agree on trump with? 

[Asad_127]

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are too Pro Zionist for my liking. Donald Trump has become too much of a wild card. Especially his comments about Muslims and actually recently, he threw a Muslim out of one of his rallies. 

I guess I just decided to go with Jeb Bush because his wife is Hispanic I believe and also hes not as conservative or racist as Donald Trump or doesn't seem so. In terms of being pro zionist, I think maybe an argument can be made he is but not as much as the others. I don't know. 

Actually come to think of it, I didn't see Rand Pauls name, I'd go with him too.

I'm not even much into elections and have never voted so I don't think my opinion would matter anyhow lol.  

[Abu-Jafar Herz]

Bernie Sanders isn't a pro zionist he just talks the talk a little bit since if he actually made anti-zionists claims he would never set foot in office, he used to actually worked with Noam Chomsky and Noam Chomsky actually supports Bernie Sanders. 

[Repentant]

Sanders. Seems like the most sane person. Free college and healthcare for everyone sounds great. Doesn't seem war hungry.

 

If you guys want to vote for Sanders make sure you can in your state, for example in California you need to be registered as a Democrat or Undecided to be able to vote for him. Check to see requirements at http://voteforbernie.org/

[Takalluf]

I was leaning towards Bernie as well

Here is a good quick read. lt's a commentary:

[LeftCoastMom]

I'm too old to think just one politician can solve our problems,but Bernie is pulling even with Clinton on funding and support. Very grassroots ( almost all his money comes from contributors whose average contribution is $27 ). The young people are excited about him. My kids love Rolling Stone's new Bern It Up mash-up ...think it should be the official campaign video( has background rock music).

Check out this video on YouTube:

Sarah Palin has just officially backed Trump.

This makes satire impossible.

To an old Cold War 'warrior', in a way it's kinda sad that a socialist makes more sense than the other candidates. Lindsay Graham said similarly which is how I got prompted to read-up on Bernie.

I knew Bernie had a lot of support when last week one of the middle-aged women said, "I see him (Bernie) as a decent person."

[Mr. Anderson]

You would vote for this? Really?

I voted for Trump. He will fulfill prophecies and bring us closer to the reappearance. To be honest, any of them would. But this guy has the potential to quicken the process.

[Haydar Husayn]

The Donald, just because it would be hilarious (presidents don't have much power anyway). Also, I prefer people to express their islamophobia openly, rather than secretly.

I'm voting for Bernie Sanders this year. He'll be better for the country and the world than the others.

i've actually never seen that video. Dissapointing answer he gave. But better than Hillary in the whitehouse. 

[LeftCoastMom]

^He didn't vote for the Resolution and he didn't sign the AIPAC-approved letter either...shows he's not a hard line Israel supporter. But all the candidates are likely to be squirrelly on that.

Why do you have to choose a lesser evil if all options are evil? In this case the evils are one and the same. Bernie Sanders also supports abortion and same sex marriages.



 

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.  5:32

You would vote for somebody who is a transgressor and goes against Allah swt's laws? You would vote in the elections of America, which approved same sex marriage bill, America which is mocking Allah swt's divine laws. Why would you vote in elections, the same elections which took the right of Ali ibn Abi Talib pbuh as a Caliph.

They are all actors, playing as opponents in front of the people. When looking at this picture do you really think that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are some kind of opponents?

You aren't going to get a perfect candidate, Sanders compared to the alternatives is issue focused and more principled on a whole range of issues, anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head examined.  US presidents are restricted but can institute radical reforms if they are sincere and more importantly provided they are backed by the public, it has happened before under similar circumstances.

The biggest hurdle Sanders will face is that organized labour in the US is virtually non existent, unions historically were able to mobilized the public providing a powerful base which presidents could act upon, there just aren't any strong grassroots institutions that can do so anymore.

This hardly matters.

Tell me what are his policies towards the military industrial complex, illegal wars, support for the unprivileged masses and such like.
