Presidential Elections : Presidential Election

The people have come to have faith in his views on American politics. He stands strong without the millions of dollars all the other wealthy candidates have. Bernie Sanders has many of America’s support that volunteer to help his views be known in 47 states when he has no staff members to pay for. Sanders already impacted many people who believe this revolution will change America for the better of all people. The greatest weapon in America is not wealth and power. The greatest weapon is the vote by the people. (“The Gospel” 34)

The 1980 presidential election of the United States featured three primary candidates, Republican Ronald Reagan, Democrat Jimmy Carter and liberal Republican John Anderson. Ronald Reagan was the governor of California before he decided to run for the presidency. John Anderson was a representative in Illinois and Carter was the incumbent. The lengthy Iran hostage crisis sharpened public opinions by the beginning of the election season. In the 1970s, the United States were experiencing a straining episode of low economic growth, high price increases and interest rates and an irregular energy crisis. The sense of discomfort in both domestic and foreign affairs in the nation were heading downward, this added to the downward spiral that was already going on. Between Carter, Anderson and Reagan, the general election campaign of the 1980s seemed more concerned with shadowboxing around political issues rather than a serious discussion of the issues that concerned voters.

Bernie Sanders once said “Finally, let [us] understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win.” Bernie Sanders started as a young activist fighting to desegregate and end the Vietnam war, As he got older he dwelled into politics and became a self identified socialist; he competed against corporate backing and a corrupt political system yet remained true to his beliefs of Universal Health Care System, affordable education, better social security and welfare, the right for a woman to choose what she wants for her body, cares for the environment, but most importantly, Bernie Sanders believes in America.

Presidential election cycles are always three-ring circuses, and the 2000 election has become one of the biggest circuses ever. With a two-term president unable to seek re-election, the House of Representatives clearly up for grabs, and Democrats counting on major Senate gains -- even hoping to win control -- there is a lot at stake in this year's elections. Republicans' optimism is based on their view that they will take back the White House after an eight-year hiatus. GOP insiders believe that Americans are tired of Bill Clinton, have doubts about Vice President Al Gore and are ready for change. Republican turnout was down in 1998, which helps account for the party's poor showing in the off-year

Bernie Sanders cares about the future of this nation and that we should have the right to afford our education. He wants public college and universities tuition to be free but not any of the private colleges ("Bernie Sanders on Education”). Some people think that free public colleges and universities is a bad thing because we don’t know where the money is coming from, and if so it will probably come from us people. In spite of that argument, Bernie want to make a Robin Hood tax on the

The 2016 Presidential Election is coming sooner and sooner as each day passes, and it’s approaching the point where all eligible voters need to become informed about the each of the Democrat and Republican candidates running in the 2016 Presidential bid. The voter should be aware of what each candidate represents and what their values are and from that the voter can decide which candidate suits their beliefs best and vote for said candidate when the time comes. In this upcoming election, in my opinion, the candidate that wants the best for the majority of the citizens of the United States is Senator Bernie Sanders. His views in politics, connect with many poor and middle class families because all throughout his political career and his 2016

One metapor used to describe contemporary elections is “choosing the lesser of two evils”, however, unlike other elections, this year's is one of the most controversial and dividing elections in recent years. This year there is a chance for change, and currently there are four main head runners for the presidential nomination; out of these candidates only one shines as someone who will really change the US for the better, Bernie Sanders. He plans to rejuvenate the economy, and support the middle and lower class. Bernie also is easily one of the only candidates that support civil rights that help the people, not some values that would increase voter polls. When it comes to international affairs Bernie respects other countries and understands

Bernie Sanders is socialist but is written down as a independent which is a big turnoff for most people. When people think of socialist they think of Lenin, Castro, and Stalin who were not the most pleasant of people. Sanders totally different then all of them though. First off he’s Jewish and these people don't seem Jewish. Second off he has not killed anybody like the people listed. And third is he has modern and past democratic views. He is a supporter of gay marriage and abortion which is modern democratic views. He wants the minimum wage raised which has been an ongoing fight for many years with republicans and democrats fighting over it. One more thing he's done is trying to reach out to our younger generation who is voting for the first time. In a New York Times article entitled “The Socialist Senator”, he visited South Burlington High School where he answer some question to some 6o kids. This is what you want in a president, who speaks at schools and answer question for them. In another New York Times Article, he states, “Doctors have told me about patients who died because they put off their medical visits until it was too late”(Sanders, 3). This proves a point that he does not want people to die. Now we can disagree that Sanders should or should not be president but what we can most definitely agree on is we don't want people to

One controversial issue with the senator’s policies is how his bills are going to be passed. If Bernie Sanders were elected, his bills would not make it through the Republican majority congress that is in the United States today. The only option that he is left with is to campaign for a democratic congress; however, “Sanders should be out campaigning for progressive candidates for House and Senate across the country in Democratic primaries, and would need to campaign hard this fall to defeat dozens of Republican incumbents across the country” (Caffrey). In the words of Matt Caffrey, “he hasn’t done any of that.”

We need someone to hold the office with dignity, pride, and an open mind. A president should be someone who behaves in a manner that we can look up to, and Bernie certainly fits the bill. He has all the qualities and holds all the views that our next president needs in order to be successful. Sanders’ plans for this great nation will make America a better place for generations to come. Bernie Sanders is ultimately the best candidate, which is why he will win the 2016 presidential election. This voting season, be sure to make the right choice, and vote for Bernie

Bernie Sanders is a part of the Democratic Party, he has held an elected office position for the past 34 year.He believes in American liberalism, Modern liberalism, and Progressivism. Sanders has been a senator for Senate of the United States since 2006. Sanders is the longest serving independent politicians in congress as of the moment,he is serving his second term in office. Bernie started his political career in the 80’s in the state of Vermont. He once told the Guardian newspaper that “ I saw unfairness. That was my major inspiration in my politics”

Bernie Sanders has proven himself a champion of the middle class since his humble beginnings in 1981 as mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Once he became active in office as a member of the Senate in November 2006, Senator Sanders began breaking grounds to help provide “affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care,” and women’s equality. Now that he has officially began his campaign in the 2016 presidential race, Senator Sanders is discussing his ideologies that he believes will help the American people overcome many commonly-encountered obstacles.

Sanders is slowly leading the polls while Hillary Clinton’s lead of an average of 10 is decreasing causing Bernie to slowly creep ahead. His economic plan consists of fighting the increase in wealth inequality by increasing taxes of the wealthy, breaking up companies that are “too big to fail”, and vetoing the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Bernie’s environmental plan is to back renewable energy and turn away from the use of fossil fuels. He also believes in letting nuclear factories cover their own disaster costs and repealing the Price-Anderson Act, taxpayers paying for major nuclear accidents. Bernie also calls for transparency in campaign finances and banning U.S. companies controlled by foreign interest from lobbing, also called the DISCLOSE Act. Bernie also opposes single ownership of media outlets, letting the news operate on a grander scheme and with less bias in it. Bernie’s political view of warfare is a conservative one, he strongly believe in political attempts at peace and only believes in the use of the military as a final option. Opposing military action against ISIS he believes the US should support the defending nations but not directly attacking ISIS. Condemning the actions of the Paris attacks he warns against “Islamophobia” saying racism of this sort will just further the

These are people of every race, sex, belief, religion, and creed all on the same page. They are not necessarily citizens of the United States, but they are all commonly known as people; citizens of this world. Mr. Sanders creates a presence of peaceful yet forcefulness. He is not ready to take anything lying down, it seems. Presence as defined in the book Rhetoric in Civic Life explains that presence s the creation of something at the forefront of the audience's consciousness. (Fritch/Palczewaki, 71) As you continue through the website you notice, second, that he has links for fundraising. Immediately I was put off, until I noticed the automatic amount connotations. Ten dollars to begin with? That seemed practical. This is a man not wanting to break the American people, but he is a practical man that needs help to win. Next, you notice his background story. Short, sweet, and outlined; perfect for the apathetic generation of voters that seem to support him the most. Hey, I know that seems harsh, but I describe myself in that grouping. We want someone to do all of the work for us. Bernie Sanders seems to realize that we, as younger people, need help and he makes it easy for us to glimpse what American politics is

Bernie Sanders’ life represents truth, integrity and he is an inspiration to many. During the 2016 Democratic primary races Bernie’s message resonated with millions. He traveled the country, state by state, highlighting the issues affecting our country.
