Sanders is a fucking baller. He has a super solid voting record and is the best candidate by far (in my middle class, liberal, socialist opinion). I would definitely recommend checking out what he has to say.
He is planning on running under the Democratic banner so he will be in direct opposition with Hilary in the primaries. I really don't like Hilary. She, like almost all other politicians, is a fucking slave to money. It is honestly unthinkable at this point that she will not win: She is super-well funded, she would be the first women in office, she has "experience" (she is very experienced in foreign affairs, I'll give her that) and she is a Clinton. People fucking love Bill Clinton.
I personally think that it is ridiculous that we, as a nation of 300+ million, with only 43 presidents, could potentially have the wife of a past president and the brother AND son of past presidents running this year. How the fuck is that democracy? We essentially have ruling families.
And the people fielded by the Republicans, I mean, come on. Is it really that hard to find one person who kind of normal and possibly even sane? Donald Trump? Cruz? Jindal? Scott Walker???
Rand Paul's tax idea was good and bad. Taxing the lower class less, since they have less, good - they will just put this money back into the economy. Removing loopholes, also good - but this plan doesn't remove as many loopholes as you would expect. Taxing the rich and corporations less? Not good, and would lead to multi-trillion dollars of deficit in a decade unless the government is gutted. His plan favors the rich. It also "favors" the poor with the tax break, unlike almost every other plan out there, so it might actually get him some votes.
Sadly, it is probably the best tax plan to date. It is a step in the right direction.
