By and large, am a Democratic-Socialist. Our income taxes and social security should be just that—invested in our country’s inland infrastructure and comprehensive social programs—point blank. It’s not that big of a deal.

I can assure you from experience, as individual citizens we pay more here in America for way less benefits because of our privatized debt-based economic system. For the richest country in the world, filled by educated financially-invested people, our citizens live like indentured servants. Very creepy to me.

No one should take on debt for needing insulin, leukemia treatment or a life-saving surgery. Don’t get me started on preventive care. Cost of procedures and medical-products are grossly exaggerated and "completely unwarranted for any clinical reason." http://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/072116/us-h ealthcare-costs-compared-other-countries.asp this must be corrected, universal healthcare or not.

Bernie doesn’t pander to political theatre, his arguments are unemotional. The rest do, especially Elizabeth Waren—rhetorically, psychologically manipulative—to get a reaction. He has proven himself repeatedly and unwavering a genuine public servant, with a true cause. My IC is in Virgo—I get it. Servant-leadership as my Virgo mom says often about her own work ethic.

Perhaps Bernies Gemini Jupiter will unite the People.

My mom got into a scary car accident a few years back. Naturally she still needed to take the ambulance a few miles away to the hospital just to make sure everything was ok despite no visible harm, not a scratch. From what I recall, that ambulance ride was billed at $1500, the whole hospital one-time-on-the-safe-side-check-up was $60,000 (MRI, CT SCAN, etc).

People needing to create GoFundMe because of life-threatening medical illnesses is SHAMEFUL

Riddle me this, how much does someone’s annual income need to be to pay “$60k” worth of “taxes” in America that fiscal year? Give or take a $300k salary. Better call an Uber

Unfortunately, that is whats being offered.

So, would I prefer one over the other. Heck no, but....

I for instance developing my career under a hard capitalist system would benefit from staying in this system, but I also see that sanders policies would benefit the group possibly better.

I think I am experiencing a lot of ambivalance, I do like some of Trumps policies but I don't like the way hes thrasing democracy and the constitution, and I do believe the chance of a dictatorship is high now.

On the other hand Sanders who I think is the most likely to be able to win, is too socialist, open borders is a ludicrous policy, it shows that in certain ways he lacks sense. Very few people in this country want open borders.

Do we need better safety nets and to wipe out the scourge of medical bankruptcy? yes. Does this need to knee cap our economy? I dont think so

It would be quite healing to have such a person holding that Office.

We need Peace, and Kindness and Honor to be an Elevated Choice, once again.

Yep. I am so tired of the current gunslingers. I find Amy to be refreshing but in the current ultra polarized climate, she doesn't stand a chance.

I like her too, but Warren is my first choice. I prefer both women, over the other candidates actually.

Shura, just go vote

Just so you know, small and medium businesses account for about 75% of new job creation in America.

Lately, Warren has been screwing up the US Senate. Now, Fauxahontus wants to screw up the Office of President.

My female friends really dont like hearing me says that I voted for bernie because I worry about sexism in swing states, but I feel this is reality. I think this hits them really hard and makes them feel less than and angry, which I tottally get. Not sure what to say about that except that I think the biggest issue now is Trump rampage on democracy and the consitution, after that is dealt with we can move onto sexism in government.

You really are clueless aren't you!

Voter rolls are purged because some on those rolls are deceased. An important voting block for demorats are the dead but live demorats vote in the dead person's name..and again in their own names.

Voter rolls are also purged because former residents of the state have moved out of state..AND ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN THAT STATE'S ELECTIONS. But since they're still on the voter rolls, democrats use their names and vote...in their names and in their own name.

Demorats don't want fair elections because they know they will lose.

As for Trump trampling the Constitution, name just one Constitutional provision President Trump has violated. I'm giving you this chance because you've repeated this bullshiiite more than once.

Fascinating nodal contact between them. Suppose to “teach” him something?

Sanders' Jupiter conjunct Trump's NN and incidentally Trump's Sun, could bolster the argument that Bernie will "benefit" Trump.

After all, around that time, Trump will be undergoing a nodal return. Remember, Trump has sun conjunct NN, which is an uber powerful astrological position to have.
