I really wish I could respect the GOP and Democrats. I mean I'm sure the Republican Parties had some good ideas/policies before the Reaganites systematically kicked that to the curb. Like, something actually debate worthy instead of mudslinging.... or am I just being naive and its always been a zoo?

Giving more authority to local, smaller governments (states, counties, townships) isn't an inherently evil position to take

It's closer to people arguing whether a vote for Clinton is okay or horrible. Most people seem to like Bernie, the arguments are more over whether or not he can win the primary, and whether he's actually the last best hope for mankind or a politician running for office.

If you want to vote for Bernie vote for Bernie. I get really annoyed with people who think Hillary is barely better than any of the republicans. At the very least she openly believes in global warming and evolution and doesn't want to start a war with Iran which i don't think you can say about any of the republicans. Also I bet she wants to expand our healthcare policies at a federal level instead of shrink them.

Well she's certainly going to protect the Iran deal. I don't get the feeling she particularly gives a gently caress about "fixing" Iraq either. But she hasn't really talked about ISIS yet so who knows. A strong Iran is probably the best containment strategy for ISIS anyway.
