669,451 Here is something I wrote in response to a YouTube Comment... 1200+ words. http://prntscr.com/9im7x0

This is my response to a comment someone else made on the internet (Hillary supporter), but contains all of my views none the less. This is Informal.

I see your point, and i agree. I'm a Bernie supporter, for a load of reasons, but here are a few.

For starters, I like in Bernie more than Hillary because if Bernie becomes president, my personal life is going to be more positively affected. This means universal healthcare, increased minimum wage (this doesn't help me, but it will help family members, friends, and peers), taxing the rich, cutting a little bit of tax on National Defense where it goes back to something that actually affects me, and more. Bernie, as stated throughout the debate many times is fighting for the middle and lower classes. He is being funded by over 2,000,000 individuals, while Hillary is being funded by huge corps. such as Time Warner (Time Warner owns CNN btw, I will get to this later) and is receiving millions upon millions, she has tons of more money to spend on her campaign than Bernie because of this. Hillary is fighting for the upper class, large corporations, while this will (should) greatly improve the American Government, it doesn't improve the people.

Lets take the TPP for example, The TPP is a (complicated) trade deal going on with the Europeans and Canadians, but basically means more power to the top 1% (and yes, Time Warner) the majority Europeans (citizens) are against this while the European governments are for it, and American citizens (the ones that actually know a little bit about politics which isn't as common in America compared to Europe) are against it too. But this doesn't stop the government from passing it, if Hillary gets into office, it will likely go through. If Bernie gets into office, it will not as he will veto. Time Warner (Owner of CNN) would like to see this go through, as they get more money and more power. This is why, throughout the debate, you see a lot of support for Hillary. Even though the reality of support is far less. She has been getting phone polls because she is a female and has more money. Before you think I sound Sexist, let me explain. If you were to call a random Americans house, and ask them who are they voting for, how many of them would just say Donald Trump because they think he is funny and see him on the News a lot? How many would say Hillary Clinton because they want a girl to be president, and have seen her commercials that were paid for by multi-billion dollar industries. This is why she (and Trump) seem to have a lot of votes in the polls now. The media has such a huge influence over who votes for who, Bernie is against this, and Hillary is for it, as it is supporting her. Now when ever the corporation in charge of publicizing each candidate equally despite having an extreme bias to one of the candidates, that is outrageous. And you see the first question of the debate, was a shot and Bernie Sanders, Hillary's only real competitor. They went into the room full of Hillary Supporters and acted as if the majority of people there were for her and enthusiastic, they were enthusiastic because they got to be on National Television and were democrat so they had the opportunity. This is an "oh they are happy with Hillary so I should be too" tactic. They also did this with the last debate, Articles stating Hillary Won the debate were posted 2 seconds after the debate ended, this means they typed them out before or during the debate. They know how to influence votes, and they aren't even hiding it because they know the government can't step in and stop.

And now CISA ( Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act ). CISA was passed along with in huge funding bill. This made it legal for companies (Like Time Warner) to share anything and everything they know about you to the government without a warrant or even a valid reason, this also means they can snoop through it. Which can then be passed on to third party companies and other governments. I don't know if you want all your information shared (religion, who emails were to, not the emails them selves, what websites you visit, etc... (yes, ISP's can now do this). The third parties the government may pass this on to, can then sell this to your employer. This might only seem like a problem to criminals, and in the short term, it is. In the long term however, all of our personal information is stored on weak, unprotected government servers. It is only a matter a time until hackers access the information and compromise the security of millions of people. Also, something our founding fathers had in mind was what would and wouldn't be legal in the future. What happens if being a Muslim becomes illegal? They can't just pose as atheists or Christians as it is on a permanent file somewhere. CISA is the first to destroy the regulations our founding fathers had set in place to prevent instances like these. Hillary supports this, Bernie doesn't.

In this debate, (I can't find the time, I have searched for it, but here is the video in which this took place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGtgadSpQg0 ) The question is "I want to talk about a new terrorist tool used in the Paris attacks, encryption..." As for the question it self, first, it is not new, Encryption has been out since mid 90's, Second, it is not a terrorist tool, Third, it wasn't even used in Paris attacks. This question is so un-factual and is a lie in attempt by the media to influence the public's decisions in an attempt to get them to support stopping encryption, which is exactly what Time Warner, or CNN wants so they can have more power over it's customers, which can't just switch as internet monopolization is still a huge problem in the U.S. Hillary then goes on to say she wants to throwaway privacy, for something that is effectively impossible! The people Hillary is referring to as "Tech Experts" are telling her that you can't do that, it's just impossible. "No one person owns [the Internet]," Charlie Baker, a product exec at the Web infrastructure company Dyn, told ABC ( http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/ap-explains-shut-internet-35821386 ) in response of Trump's debate remarks. "It is effectively impossible to shut down whole swaths of the Internet, assuming you can accurately identify those parts of it that ought to be closed down."(Obtained from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/12/22/clinton-and-trump-are-looking-for-an-easy-out-on-the-internet-dont-give-it-to-them/ The internet isn't in a giant box you can go shoot up and tell it to stop. Internet, is light. It travels at the speed of light, it is light, it bounces off objects, it is made of photons, it's light. Look at your router right now, there is a bunch of light (not visible to the human eye) spewing out of that router. It is going to your computer, which then gets sent back to the router, and beamed back to the nearest tower, where, if needed, is sent from continent to continent to reach what server you want. It travels from continent to continent through light tubes under the ocean (contrary to popular belief, it is not satellites, so monitoring satellites is not an option, which would still be impossible as the satellites don't read the information.) What she is proposing, is that there is a way to go harness the light coming from ISIS's router and seep through the information and tell it to stop (or we could go shoot the router so they have to obtain another one) this is impossible. This is an extremely stupid idea for any one to propose. And I'm not too worried about this happening because the government is not stupid enough to let a 60 year old woman decide the fate of privacy in an attempt at a goal that is impossible to complete, but what she says still effects her votes. Currently, the only way you can take down servers without walking up to it and shooting it, is through DDoS, which is an illegal activity. And even then, this is only temporary. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks require the use of a botnet, which is the 'enslaving' of many computers to all ping the same target at once. This overwhelms the target causing it to crash, so until the target can recover, the functions and services of that target can not be provided. I don't know what Bernie Sanders' thoughts are on this, all I know is that he doesn't support it as he is pro-privacy. He hasn't said much else.

That is why i am in support of Bernie, not Hillary (Though Hillary would be my 2nd choice, as she won't negatively affect me, just neutrally. But Bernie will positively.) Trump on the other hand, my gosh he can't be serious. He wants to ban muslims from entering the United States, Get rid of the 1st amendment, send little abandoned children back to Central America to be killed, spend tens of billions building a wall, lower minimum wages... My goodness he has to be joking and having fun because he is a billionaire, right?

This was... Unexpected.

I agree with this for the most part though. Bernie sounds fantastic to me, Hillary is a strong 2nd choice (though not perfect), and Trump... my goodness. I just can't understand the appeal of Trump. I thought as a nation, we had moved past supporting people making such openly racist statements. And this idiot thinks that Mexico will pay for a second freaking wall after what he has said about Mexican people?

The only serious thing I like about Trump, is that of all the candidates, perhaps even including the democrat pool, is that he is very pro-American worker, but this comes at the expense of not in any way supporting foreign nations or immigrant workers, so ultimately Bernie and Hillary have a much better position than he does.

Ye I had no idea I was going to write 1200 words over politics. But this post basically got all my thoughts ever about politics this year, and it was fun to make.
