Bernie Sanders Gets Group Endorsements When Members Decide; Hillary Clinton When Leaders Decide

Despite what Reddit will have you believe, Bernie Sanders has yet to mention how he is going to pay for any of his plans beside healthcare, let alone how he will get them done. 'We need a revolution.' 'We will get rid of 'X' loophole.' 'We will increase taxes on the rich.' He gives the same cop out answers every time he gets asked the question. But god damn I would rather have some radical old man than someone who blatantly lies as much as Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Half the time they're just pandering. It's so damn frustrating. "Bernie Sanders hates Obama!" What the hell Hillary? "Mexicans are rapists" Honestly fuck this democracy. The president was never envisioned to have as much power as they have today. We're becoming a dictatorship, I swear man. And now you have Democrats supporting executive action on gun laws and 99% of them have no idea what that entails. And Republicans are no better. "Land of the free unless you disagree with me." This is why the president shouldn't have so much power. The people who know what they believe in are going to vote in congressional elections. The presidential election attracts a large portion of voters who have no idea how our system works and who take their opinions from Fox and CNN. "She's a woman let's vote for her!" "Donald Trump ain't afraid to tell it how it is!" Can we vote for someone based on merit maybe? Obama was an okay president but there's no reason Democrats should have let him get away with NSA, dronestrikes, or ISIS. And I don't care what your stance on the Iraq War is, Obama gave up 8 years of progress and left Iraq to defend itself against all of these guerrillas WE created. But Democrats pretend like he brought us peace, when in reality he went against his advisers and now we're going to see terrorist attack after terrorist attack until America gets pulled into another conflict in the Middle East. And Republicans will point their fingers and laugh at Obama and turn this entire war into a game they will milk for political points. Hopefully our next president will be reasonable... lol anyways I'm done venting
