I've talked about why Bernie Sanders is the best of the American candidates, now it's time to talk about why he's the least worst (besides higher taxes, taking away market freedom, and being anti-business). In three groups, from most important to least.

*Wants to keep supporting Israel (all Republicans and Democrats agree on this, unluckily).
*Wants to fly drones over other countries to spy and to kill (Only Cruz actually has shown some against to this, he says flying drones is ok only if there is an official war declared. Still better than the others.).
*Wants to keep foreign help spending as is (Clinton wants to actually grow it, all Republicans want to lower it).

*Wants to lower the amount of temporary work visas given to qualified foreign workers.
*Supports the government forcefully taking private land.
*Is for the FBI to unlock iPhones.

*Wants to rid national teaching standards.
*Supports mandating hiring to be based only on sex, ethnicity, skinhue, and "gender".
*Wants to ban corporations from giving money to politic campaigns (yes, maybe good in theory - but you can't really stop them, so might as well take the path that has the most freedom)
*For forcing private health insurance sellers to give "free" birth control as part of the plan.
*For forcing private businesses to serve all customers they get, no matter what beliefs clash.
*For funding private birth control organisations.
*Wants to limit legal suing powers (you can't sue everyone for any grounds).
*Wants to greatly grow the American space programme.
*Wants to force upon faiths the mandate of gay marriage.
*Wants to rid the death penalty.
*For greater environmental regulations (right idea, but I don't think anything should really be illegalised, just give money to clean energies).
*Against making photographic identification needed to vote.
*Against mandating that those on welfare be needed to work, is against "workfare".
*Against testing folk getting welfare for drugs.
*Against the Transpacific Partnership (TPP).

*Against making Bitcoin legal American currency.

It's just really a waste of money, like Genghis said, there are private businesses, it'd be a colossal waste of money and life, while the money could actually be spent on better things, like supporting clean renewable energies or legally binding public referenda (a thing unheard of in America).

Whats wrong with Government forcefully taking private land? If every large scale infrastructure project (bridges, hospitals etc) was stopped just because one or two small landowners refuse to move out, that will pose big problems to social and economic development. If they get at above market value for their property, I don't see why not.

Another issue that I take interest in is the right for small, private businesses to deny service to customers, for whatever reason. (religion, sexuality etc..) What are your thoughts on this?

Why should we make Bitcoin a legal currency? Is it even backed up?

I put it as least importance, some other countries are thinking about making Bitcoin their currency, too, and this would be a cool start of an international currency. Also, yeah, it does have intrinsic value of some kind, but I don't recall all how it works.

Why is labeling GMOs a good idea?

Well, there are two big grounds I can think of off the spot, that basically are great deals of why I like ground 3:

1: inserting new genes from other organisms sometimes makes folk allergic to foods that they're not (if the food is not genetically modified). I'm going to take a safe guess and say you have never willingly eaten rose chafers. And you don't know if you're allergic to them, well what if they put that in some apples that you eat?

2: putting animal genes into plant genes goes into weird territory for vegetarians and the like (faith-based diets). To avoid making someone unknowingly do something that is against their beliefs, like supporting the unglorious murder of their fellows, labelling it solves all that, then it's their fault if they eat meat.

3: eaters always have a right to know what they are eating.

*For hydraulic fracturing, but wants to grow oversight on fracking.
What is the issue here?

Besides petrol being its own huge problem, hydraulic fracturing is also unsafe as, long tale short, it can poison public water pipelines.

Whats wrong with Government forcefully taking private land? If every large scale infrastructure project (bridges, hospitals etc) was stopped just because one or two small landowners refuse to move out, that will pose big problems to social and economic development. If they get at above market value for their property, I don't see why not.

America already has a colossal infrastructure system and loads of public land, much of it unused. And usually everyone has some buying price, just often it's quite high, but I don't think that it's wrong to force someone out of their home that their family may have had for 200 years just to build a bypass like they did in the beginning of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Sure, they get above market value, but it won't always equal the value to the family.

Noone should be forced to do something they don't want to by the government (unless for obvious grounds, like vaccines for contagious illnesses that affect more than just you).

Another issue that I take interest in is the right for small, private businesses to deny service to customers, for whatever reason. (religion, sexuality etc..) What are your thoughts on this?

I'm not going to criticise any of the Democrats (here) for their socialisms, but I am for businesseses having the right to not serve any customer they have on any grounds - be that they have a weird eye, are women, are Arabic, so on. It's freedom at work, and it's obviously bad for the business, so anything outrageous will probably a: not be outrageous to societal standards or b: have boycotts coming for it.

Are you for replacing the US Dollar and making Bitcoin the only currency, or for making Bitcoin a tradable currency along with the dollar?

NO TRUMP IS BAD BECAUSE HE IS AMAZING!!!
I sincerely hope you are joking...

Wouldn't it be great if we had, for say, one term, a dictator who was lawfully good but at the same worked around the law, and in the process, cleared out all corruption and installed true public servants? That would be nice.

Are you for replacing the US Dollar and making Bitcoin the only currency, or for making Bitcoin a tradable currency along with the dollar?

I'm for making them both legal currencies until (if) Bitcoin becomes way more popular, and by that, I mean more than half the world's population would be living in a country with Bitcoin as a legal currency.

Wouldn't it be great if we had, for say, one term, a dictator who was lawfully good but at the same worked around the law, and in the process, cleared out all corruption and installed true public servants? That would be nice.

Ah.
Why should we drop or lower support for Israel?

America (assuming it gets much better and becomes a much more peaceful country; assuming it won't be hypocritic to do so) should really sanction most of the countries in the Middle East. They're all doing terrible things to some extent, and both Palestine's Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigade and the Israeli "Defence" Force have done terrible things to each other, targeting and killing innocent civilians.

Why do you care so much about American politics I thought you lived and were born in Belarus?

America is the country today that brings about the most unearned deaths today/biggest militant country (also, I live in Eritrea now), and is a superpower. Chinese and Indian elections aren't for a while.
