For those who are in the US or simply interested, what do you think about each of the Democratic candidates? Are you a hardcore Trump fan, or will you vote for any Democratic nominee to get him out of office? If you aren't a trump fan, are there any Dem nominees you would vote for Trump over? Please don't use insults or personal attacks against anyone, I'm just interested in your points of view. -JCT |

I'm warning everyone now that any personal attacks will result in disciplinary action. Politics is a sensitive topic, so please keep things civil! This is a friendly community, and I trust we all can if we try.  Edit: Please also avoid in-depth discussion of controversial election issues (immigration, gun control etc.). |

What I find interesting about the American system is that you directly vote for the President - even if that means the opposition has to put up a number of candidates as we're seeing now. I'd like to see election day being a public holiday so that people can go and vote freely. Over here, it's always on a Saturday to make it as easy for people to go vote as possible. My TCR Norns |

I'm personally a leftist. I believe in equal rights, healthcare for all no matter what, and affordable college. As someone who is Jewish and queer, I feel like I'm obligated too help others and be there for others. With all that being said, I'm voting for Bernie. I feel like he is the most likable candidate and hopefully he'll win. I like his plans and he's for the people I believe. This election is heated, but not as heated as the 2016 election. It's interesting to see how the election is unfolding and how much of a neck and neck race for the democrats. I think the nominee for the republicans will be pretty obvious. |

I know. We need a reform of the government and voting system. |

What would you reform about the American system, if you could? My TCR Norns |

The whole two party system is not exactly the greatest. Democrats and Republicans are such wide umbrellas that try to fit a large demographic. If your views don't really line up with the current agenda of either, there is little you can do. Now I heard there are more parties you could hypothetically vote for, but they are so miniscule that instead of voting for them you might as well not go at all. I imagine that extremely frustrating. With e.g. a parliament, decisions may take longer, but at least smaller parties get a fighting chance and can perhaps establish properly. 20 years or so ago, the green party in Germany for example was viewed as hardly more than a joke or a bunch of hippies. Nowadays they are an absolutely viable option. They probably won't have a chancellor anytime soon, but they can definitely steer the direction of new laws to some degree. I certainly don't see that happen in the current structure of the US government. You pretty much have to vote one of the two big players. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...
