8/2016 This year’s presidential election has to be the most involved we have seen in a while! Spectrums of different candidates are running for the 2016/2020 presidency, each wanting to help America become a better country. However, these candidates can only agree on some issues. Otherwise, their opinions are very different such as Donald Trump on immigration and Bernie Sanders on terrorism. Although Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders agree on the complications of LGBT rights, they don’t really click on terrorism and immigration problems. Over the past couple of years, immigration into the United States has spiked, causing it to be viewed as a prominent American issue many politicians don’t agree on, including Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. …show more content…

For instance Donald Trump believes that when fighting against terrorists America and the rest of the world need to have, “a more aggressive approach” (Trump 6). Trump feels as though we have been way too soft on terrorists these past couple of years. He believes that we should attack terrorism head on and exert all of our powers in order to help end it once and for all. In contrast, Bernie Sanders believes that we have been fighting a war we should have stopped fighting a long time ago and should, “withdrawal as soon as possible” (Sanders 6). Sanders doesn’t agree with war, believing that the U.S. should no longer pursue fighting terrorism until it has held down the fort on its own shores. Unlike Trump, he feels it best if the country focuses on fixing its own problems instead of trying to take the weight of the entire world on its shoulders. Overall, Donald Trump wants to launch a full frontal assault on terrorists while Bernie Sanders wants to pull out of the war against terrorism. Trump and Bernie are usually on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to politics and its issues; that is not the case when it comes to LGBT

Each and every candidate possesses their own respective proposal for how to tackle the subject of immigration. Bernie Sanders, for instance, intends to provide immigrants an opportunity for citizenship that is within their reach instead of withholding that opportunity and choosing to deport them. “Sanders generally agrees with President Obama that most of the undocumented immigrants in the country now should be given a path to citizenship” (Desjardins). It seems that the majority of the Republican party means to deal with the immigration issue by deporting mass numbers of undocumented citizens. For example, in Donald Trump’s case, even the children who were born here need to be deported as

Heated debates and political oddities are bringing attention to the 2016 Presidential race at historical levels, giving Bernie Sanders the prime opportunity to expose key issues while rising in what he calls a “Political Revolution”.

Trump and Sanders are Good for America There appear to be two broad categories of politicians in the United States and, thankfully, one of these is actually good for the health of the country. Nevertheless, Americans hate them both. Most politicians are detested because, when they open their mouths, words are emitted but nothing is communicated. Those who do this (there are many) represent the first category: boring and vapid.

Obviously, when a country has a multiple political party system for governing, there will be vast differences in political opinion and policy. The two major political parties in the United States are different in many aspects of their beliefs and underlying platforms. Most people think of the Democratic Party as being more liberal, whereas the Republican Party is seen as more conservative in their values and policies. This is not always the case and furthermore they do not always disagree. However, there are some differences which I feel the Republicans should adopt in order to gain more followers.

Bernie Sanders’ progressivist activism most directly affects my life. Although he is not a Senator or Representative for my state, I admire his character and commitment towards achieving national equality. With ideologies far more advanced than those of his presidential running mates, Sanders is the ideal politician for my generation; I chose Bernie Sanders because I truly believe that almost all of his political beliefs are logically and humanitarianly superior to those of other 2016 presidential candidates and on-par with those of many modern countries. Bernie Sanders is a candidate who, if elected president, would catapult America into an unprecedented period of domestic development and prosperity. However, if Sanders is not elected president,
