Halo: Would you support cutting the defense budget by a significant amount as well as legalizing or at the very least decriminalizing all drugs so we(the US) doesn't lock more people up per capita than any other nation on Earth? Naturally Veterans should be taken care of but the defense budget is pretty much the worst form of socialism in a lot of ways, ie a big bloated jobs program that makes a lot of weapons and equipment we don't even need. I actually prefer sanders over anyone else running but I do recognize that he's very far from perfect and much like any other politician I don't trust him. It's about choosing the least shitty candidate, not the ideal one when you're talking about presidential elections. the donor class picks the candidates for the most part minus self-funded ones like Trump(who I don't take seriously from a policy standpoint although he's a great salesman) so there are no GOOD choices.
There are millions of other wasteful things our government does that could be cut like demilitarizing the police force(that's minor in terms of $ though), not subsidizing big corporations like oil/gas companies that don't need help and I'd have to spend hours doing research to make a real, comprehensive list but you understand my general question. I lean left but there are also things, like gun control, I tend to lean very very right on.
The entire left/right divide is just a way for donors and their marionettes to get us all pissed off at eachother and distract us from all the awful shit they're doing.
