RE: Who do you think will win the election? Hilary or Trump?

in #usa8 years ago

I can't stomach the thought of either of them winning, but I think that Hillary will win.

Bernie would have been the absolute worst of any candidate this election cycle (and it's not close). One only needs to consider that socialism has killed nearly a quarter of a billion people in the last century alone and that he has been an outspoken socialist for, from what I can tell, his entire life. These two points are not my opinions, they are facts. People can try to downplay socialism's role in the rampant genocide of the 20th century, but it still happened. People can also try to sugarcoat Bernie's stance as "democratic" socialism, but that's rather ludicrous. Regardless of how we arrive at socialism, the results will be the same. The government is an immoral institution that restricts freedom in any way it can whenever it's power grows, socialism tires to give nearly limitless power to the government. It's not a mystery why so many socialist countries turn into hellholes or fascist states, there is no way for a person to wield power over another to improve their lives. The restriction of freedom necessarily makes your life worse.
