The upcoming election

The upcoming election
This election is starting to feel like more and more of a gap between democrat, and republican.

Like the election is building more and more up to be a huge change in either direction. I mean huge. 

I mean the senate just voted to defund planned parenthood. It will get vetoed by Obama anyway, but nevertheless let this highlight the extremity that's slowly building in the difference of ideas between the right and the left.

I wasn't around during this time, but at least from what i've seen people like George Bush(that's the most recent rep. that I can relate to since others were long before when I was born)

At least George Bush, although he made some terrible decisions [I.E. War in Iraq, etc.] wasn't that "extreme" persay. From what i've learned, I mean, at least he didn't like enforce his religious beliefs with law, or like discriminate against one group of people[like most of the republicans want to do]. At least he didn't really make a huge impact, I know there are some things that were terrible, but I hope you understand what I mean.


However, this election, all the candidates have radical views, on both the left and right, and that can be a good thing or bad thing.


Bernie Sanders for example, he has radical views, but they are overwhelmingly good ones. He's a socialist, which isn't that great, but I think this is not a big deal considering the other policies he's for. He's going to make college free, he's going to decriminalize marijuana, he's going to end private jails, and take money out of politics, along with a laundrylist of other huge changes.


On the other hand, we have Donald Trump, and Ben Carson.
In my opinion, Ben Carson is even more of a wild card than Trump! I mean if Carson were to win, the impression he's had thus far on people is that he is quiet and a bit reserved. However, I think that he is silently holding some very very radical views in his mind, just based on the lack of critical thought he's displayed, and an overall misunderstanding of how the world works and what's logical. He's a part of a church that believes the rapture will happen any day now, and he's got conspiracies like the Egyptian Pyramids being used to store grain. If he gained presidency, he will probably come out with some massively radical changes, and then downplay them as he always does in that soft toned voice like he isn't doing anything major.

I can't think of hardly any well favored republicans that aren't radical in their beliefs. Well I can think of one, i'll explain in a second.

But my point is this; Both parties are shaping up like a pyramid, with the candidates with the most radical views at the top, and slowly getting less radical down the pyramid. As I said this can be a good thing or bad thing.

The only candidates from each party that won't make a huge change would be Hillary Clinton, or Jeb Bush. Since they are establishment puppets, and are pretty similar when it comes to what they truly want to enforce.


That being said though, you better hope the winner is Bernie, because either way we're getting some serious changes.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
