Why I like (hate least) B. Sanders for 2016: 3/31/2016 02:28:08

Out of the candidates who have any chance at all, so basically not counting the better Libertarians or other third groups. In short, he's the best foreign policy, which is what counts the most.

Group 1 stances: Saving folks' lives, er, rather not killing them

*Government should lower military spending.
*Gov should stop NSA international spying
*Gov should stay out of the Mashriq war.
*Gov should close the Guantánamo gaol.
*Gov should never be allowed to use torture.

1 eh:

*Immigrants should have access to gov healthcare (I'm only for this if it's life-threatening emergency settings)

Contrast Clinton (A), Cruz (B), and Trump (C):

*Gov should lower military spending. A (B and C are both for highering it)
*Gov should stop NSA international spying. A
*Gov should stay out of the Mashriq war. (none)
*Gov should close the Guantánamo gaol. A (though Cruz is for constitutional rights given to prisoners there)
*Gov should never be allowed to use torture. A
*Immigrants should have access to gov healthcare. A

Looks like Cruz and Trump are following in G. Bush's footsteps. "Our foes are smart and innovative. So are we. They will never stop thinking of ways to kill innocent Americans. And neither will we."

Group 2: Greatly helping folk, though not saving any lives

Sanders's stances (still using same codes as before):

*Foreign terrorism suspects should be given constitutional rights. A, B
*All children born in American land are automatically citizens. A
*Immigrants should be given the same federal scholarship chances and state in-tuition fees as long as they pay taxes. A
*Border patrol should not be highered. A
*Muslim immigrants should not be denied entry just based on their faith. A, B
*Install background and psychologic checks before buying a gun. A
*For-abortion on ask. A
(*for-abortion for victims of rape. C)

4 eh:
*America should accept 10,000 refugees from Syria. (a cap should not be set) A
(*Send back all the refugees back to Syria. B, C)
*Folk on the no-fly list should not be able to buy guns or bullets. (not until the no-fly list has a higher accuracy rate/less folk on it) A
(*Heck yeah, give those suspected terrorists guns, it's their right. B, C)
*Government should get more environmental regulations and incentivise clean alternate energies (I don't think government should regulate anything, just soft persuasion of incentivising) A
(*Government should not get more environmental regulations nor incentivise any clean alternate energies. B, C)
*All children must be vaccinated for preventable illnesses. (I think parents should choose as long as it's not a particularly deadly and/or contagious illness) A, B
(*Children never have to be vaccinated. C)

2 disagreement:
*Gov should lower the amount of foreign work visas given. (foreign work visas to everyone. Everyone earns the right by being human to work, and more workers = more competition, but then again, Sanders doesn't like that...) B, C
(*Gov should higher the amount of foreign work visas given. A. Good for you, Clinton)
*Gov should higher minimum wage. (boo, get rid of that anticapitalist job-stifling effigy) A
(*Gov should keep minimum wage as is. B)
(*Gov should adjust minimum wage standards by age groups. C. In my opinion, best choice out of these.)

These are the main ones, if you want, I will go into depth about Group 3 (stupid, shouldn't be happening, but if it is, I and you can definitely live through it, won't really affect much. So for example, pension plans: privatise?) and Group 4 (not important, and sometimes unchosen myself. So f.e. should God be taken out of governmental references ("In God we trust")?)

Most folk on the terrorist watchlist have never committed a crime in their life and are being discriminated against because of nothing.

That's why I said it should be quite narrowed down; as it is right now, folk on the no-fly list should be able to get a gun.
