Kind of wanted to get members' opinions about the candidates running for nomination. I'm especially interested in the views of non-citizens. You know, people who live out in the world where "Texas" literally means "crazy".
The basic run-down so far is as follows-
Republicans
Donald Trump: Racist Moron
Ben Carson: Racial Moron
Democrats
Bernie Sanders: Socialist (AKA: "Next Hitler")
Hillary Clinton: Pseudo-Republican (AKA: "BENGAZI!")

By Europe's standards Sanders isn't even a proper socialist, yet somehow he's portrayed as an extremist in the US
Ben Carson I don't really know much about. But from what I have read he seems to be a homophobic cunt. And he called the Afforable Care Act the "worst thing since slavery"? Wow. Yeah, people being able to afford medical care really is just awful! D: What an idiot...
Bernie Sanders I haven't even heard about before. From what I have read right now he seems to like how we do politics here in Europe. As a European I can say that we aren't doing a terrible job in that regard. He seems pretty ok!
And as for Clinton, I guess she is pretty much a female Obama. If she were to take office the course of America probably wouldn't change all that much, which isn't a bad thing because Obama did improve a lot of things during his time in office.
The second is exactly why I hated Jr. and why I'm glad Jeb isn't as popular as he thought he'd be. As much as I wish I was in England, America is not a monarchy. Yes, everyone is supposed to have an equal chance at getting to be president, but I think immediate family members should be eligible at least for a specific amount of time. And certainly three members of the immediate family shouldn't be permitted.
If I were American, Sanders is my vote of choice, I don't expect him to get much (if any of his promises accomplished, but if he can find some compromise to reach those goals, that'd be ideal. Of course, if the house is still a Republican majority, that won't happen.
Any Republican candidate can suck a dick, voting for a Republican is simply irresponsible. IMO
Just kidding, but seriously, I support Bernie Sanders, he's the only candidate not backed by large corporations
Another reason I like Bernie is because he was against most of the shit in the beginning that's currently fucking us over. So he seems to know how to predict the outcome of the things he would put into law.
You may want to investigate the 'apparent' racism of Switzerland, I wouldn't put anything past any member of the human race but people tend to throw words around without any legit cause and some times it sticks.
Trump: Anti-Establishment, Conservative, Idiot
Carson: Religious Zealot, Conservative, He is a neurosurgeon... very disturbing.
Democrats:
Sanders: Anti-Establishment, a sensible politician (who knew they even existed), runs on substance and the donations of people (not corporations)
Hilary: typical bought & sold politician, devoid of substance
