someone who will legalize drugs and prostitution.
Remove the ACA.
Revive and refurbish the voucher system for schools.
institute a flat tax.
eliminate Jail time as a sentence as much as possible (ie. murders and rapists die, a thief works to repay the stolen good, etc etc.)
Enforce the border, but streamline and cheapen legal the process of naturalization.
Allow anyone to marry anything and remove the government from the process (no tax break, no registration just let marriage be a private/religious thing.)
Make all abortions illegal unless the birth will most likely kill the mother.
Standardize the age of consent.
Decrease the legal drinking age.
Not allow American citizens to be unjustly held in foreign countries (even if war is neccescary)
Pull out of every country we've ever invaded and never go back unless directly attacked (or conversly take full control of any country we currently hold)
Remove all hate-speech and affirmative action mandates.
start the budget from 0$ and not start it again until it is in the black, no matter what is cut.
Tort reform, removal of felony murder laws. (for those who don't understand that it means if I rob a store and a cop shoots someone because I'm in the process of robbing the store I'm charged with murder.)

Aside from a few things (which I won't name specifically), I agree.

I guess that the post by chalna focuses on what policies he would like to see, rather than a focus on personality.

It is interesting to note that a LOT of people seem to like Bernie Sanders (maybe because he cooks chicken with his secret herbs and spices, or is that someone else?). They seem to like him because he is seen as straight-talking and because they like his policies. And because he would take on those with vested interests who keep down the American working class. Those same people then seem to say that he will never make president because:
* He is a Socialist
* He is not a serious candidate
* He is too old, or too brash
* He is not photogenic
* His wife Jane becomes first lady
* He would be ok if he was a Republican!

So, maybe its personality that will win over policies.
Maybe its style over substance.

Aw Hell! Let's just vote Trump 'cause we like his hair!

How is he not a serious candidate lol?
He's 6 years older than Clinton and 5 years older than Trump.
Honestly didn't know he had wife until now. Really curious as to who votes for a first lady instead of a president though.

As long as he does a good job and stops talking about how he would definitely date his daughter if he could then yeah sure.

Thank you, yes, back to the purpose of this thread...

Whilst America is still a great power, some of its power - relative to some other nations - has changed, and no doubt waned a little in recent years. At the same time, other countries, especially the BRIC ones [Brazil, Russia, India, China], are increasing in their power and wealth, and their influence in a more global society.
America's raison d'etre over the latter half of the 20th century had been as counter-weight to the Soviet Union, and subsequently (since the late 80's) in the role of global policeman.

Now that the world has changed, do people feel that America is yet to respond to that global shift?
And do any of the prospective Presidential candidates set out a vision of what America should be in the 21st century?

Anyone opposing sanders is a perfect example of why some Americans are seen as mental/backwards/self-centered. I genuinely cannot understand how not everyone is supporting him.
I don't like the circlejerk on the internet about him but I've gotta say that I fail to see anything wrong with any of his policies, and he's got a perfect track-record of believing in what he says to back it up.
