This gem got lost in the madness. Corbyn is awesome, the US would probably think he is speaking a different language though seeing as they perceive Obama as left wing
Garrett.:
Voting for and contributing to Bernie Sanders.
The only politician thats talking about getting rid of Citizens United (Billionaires buying politicians), raising and creating a "living wage" in this country and investing heavily in our infrastructure.
-Walker is a known union buster.
-Bush thinks the country would do better with NO minimum wage, devout trickle down believer, wants to continue the bush tax cuts.
-Trump will likely deport the guys that pick my watermelon and Ill eventually starve or be forced to eat canned beans. Also, Trump stands for everything I hate. Starting with his show, where people get a kick of watching others being belittled. Hes simply not an adult
-Ted Cruz doesnt even meet the requrements to be prez.
-Fiorina I watched during a town hall discussion and agree with her on some things like the banks being too big to fail but her track record with HP is disappointing and her stance on government is concerning.
-Rubio is a puppet
All of the other clowns in the clown car are hardly worth mentioning on the right.
Im really concerned with this election. If Sanders or another progressive doesnt win this election, I fear America is going to look more and more like a plutocracy. I think the time for tax breaks is up and the wealthy need to start paying their fair share. 30-35% BEFORE deductions just isnt enough and the only way the economy is going to do better is if we have a wage that families working 40+ hours a week can live on.

I don't think it matters who gets in, the rest of the world thinks your country is fucked up beyond all hope of rehabilitation and we're probably right.
In saying that, it sounds like Sanders is your man.

For real, although I fear middle England would agree. Amazing and depressing that neoliberalism is now so entrenched that the moderate left wing views of yesteryear are now perceived as hardcore socialism.
