What would you, the reader, think about a future president who opposes Large Banks, wants to make public college free and who is in favor of increasing the taxation of the top 1%? I would hope one would be for in favor of that certain candidate. Well, that candidate is Bernie Sanders. I will vote for Bernie Sanders because I think he should be the next United States President.
Bernie Sanders, from what i've gathered, is an incredibly genuine and honest person. If one knows anything about past presidents or politics in general, then they would know that it's rare to find someone like this in the elections. For example, in interviews, Sanders never voices his future plans for the country without offering ways to make that plan a reality which in simple terms is "this guy isn't just all talk". In an interview, "Real Time with Bill Maher: Interview with Senator Bernie Sanders," Sander's makes a statement stating that he wants the country to offer free public college, and when Bill Maher asks how he'll do this, Bernie states that he plans to tax those high paid wall street fellows who drive cars that could pay for twenty-five public college tuitions. This is a logical and possible way to make public college a reality. As someone who has closely followed politics for a number of years and has seen candidates talk a lot with no action behind it, it's refreshing to see a transparent candidate who offers a possible roadmap to a promising future.
As stated up above, Bernie Sanders is an incredibly honest person which goes hand in hand with him not caring about what the people think of him. As a president, you must care about the people, but you don't let them sway your ideals. Sander's has made it known that he believes in socialism, and to a lot of capitalist Americans, that's a bad thing; however, Sander's is high in the polls. One must ask why? It's because he's confident, and this is the kind of person the United States needs right now. Sander's has already shown that he cares about the people by his views on raising minimum wages, believing in women's rights, etc., so lets let him lead us. One can say that if someone has shown that they are honest, and their honest opinions are in favor of the people, LET US REJOICE!
All in all, I vote YES for Bernie Sanders, and I hope you will too. At the end of the day we, the citizens of this country, need a strong and confident leader who's in our favor to lead us back to the top. Let's vote YES for Bernie and get rid of the ever growing gap between the rich and the poor. Let's vote YES for Bernie and say goodbye to citizens being denied college due to low minimum wage pay. Let's vote YES for Bernie and the United States will be great again.

I've seen the potential presidential candidates for the 2016 race and I can say with confidence that I'm not too impressed, even with the liberals' side. This time around, the candidates fall on two extremes: the conservatives are too uptight and the liberals are too loose. However, this article actually did a great job of swaying me to side with Sanders in the upcoming election.
ReplyDeleteI really do support Sanders and his ideas, I just feel that he's way too genuine for the field of politics he's entering. Politics is nothing but a huge game of strategy, and I can't see his sobering personality swaying the politicians that run the behind-the-scenes of the election. I actually didn't know that Sanders wanted to make public college free prior to reading Abigail's article, and I think that's amazing and needs to happen. But in reality, will current politicians and other one-percenters really let themselves be subjected to higher taxes for the sake of sending some middle-class millennials to school? Sanders' target demographic are exactly the people that don't show up to vote which is really worrying, and maybe if Sanders is lucky enough to win the Primary and be the democratic candidate in the 2016 race, people will change their minds and go vote for him. Because I truly agree with Abigial when she says that Sanders is the president we need right now, but I just don't think that the electoral college will feel the same way. Especially when Sanders' policies directly attack and affect the people in the highest powers in the government.
If Sanders makes it through the Primary I will be beyond shocked but I will also be overjoyed. Because if Sanders can make it as the democratic nominee, then there's a sliver of a chance that he'll be able to pull through as president. I just hope the electoral college makes the right decision when it comes down to it on election night.
