Why I Support Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton
This past week Hillary Clinton has tried to slander Bernie Sanders by claiming that his remarks at the last Democratic Debate were Sexist. This is another ridiculous example of Hillary trying to win support not for her actual positions on important issues but on the fact that she is a women. Hillary we support Bernie Sanders over you because his progressive views align closer to our own then yours ever will, not because we are sexist. If Elizabeth Warren was running we would support her just as much as Bernie. Here are some of positions Hillary Clinton takes that would never allow me to support her.
Voted for Iraq War and help to destabilize Libya by intervening. Supports a foolish no fly zone over Syria. In general has a hawkish foreign policy that is willing to send us off to more pointless wars
Does not show support to legalize marijuana or help to decriminalize non violent drug offenses. In the past helped to put in place harsher penalties by supporting Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. Supports war on drugs. Backed and financed by prisons and helped make America the #1 country for mass incarceration
Along with her husband helped to deregulate the banks by repealing Glass-Steagall. Her method of keeping Wall Street and the big banks in check is to tell them to “Cut it out” lol meanwhile accepting some of her largest donations from them. Refuses to re-instate Glass-Steagall and instead wants to try and monitor them more tightly while not enacting a policy to actually downsize these large banks.
Bernie wants to provide health care to all citizens and make public colleges free and raise the minimum wage by raising taxes on the 1% and wall street transactions. Hillary pretty much half hardheartedly supports some of these measures (probably only because Bernie does) but is not willing to go as far claiming it would be impossible to fund. Does not view wealth inequality and the problem of the 1% controlling almost all the wealth as a reason to upset the current system in place.
In general her whole campaign is being supported by large donors / banks and corporations not the citizens of this country
Only recently has changed her positions on gay rights / Keystone Pipeline / NAFTA and TPP. Has consistently shown an tendency to support the wrong positions when they are not popular only to later on change her position when the tide of popular opinion has changed. This matters because its important to make the right decisions even when they are not the popular ones.
Claims to support women’s rights yet continually tried to smear,defame and harm women who were sexually harassed by her husband.
Hillary Clinton supports the death penalty
*I’ll continue to add to this list as her campaign goes on
