Just thought i throw another U.S. democratic runner out there that is LGBTQI friendly.

Bernie Sanders is a socialist,just like Hillary and the last time a communist leader took it was Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama and look where that got us.sorry to say this but the USA was founded to be a republic but the communist Franklin Roosevelt put us under a democracy,look too what the founding fathers had to say about democracy and you will have a better outlook on our once beautiful country. I'm tg and a conservative republican how's that for messed up..lol

Well Rosey, as a follower of neo-republicanism (NO relation to the Republican Party) as political philosophy, Bernie Sanders has my vote.

The fact he has been consistently LGBTQ inclusive during his political career is just icing on the cake.

I am not aware of any associations between President Obama and the communist party. Do you have any sources for this?

The topic was about their positions on LGBT issues, not the accusation of President Obama being a "communist".

What do you think about the thread topic of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton on LGBT issues?

Maybe this is best for another separate thread??? I'm not sure.

would also like to point out he is a democratic socialist.

Also just an my opinion on this quote. "sorry to say this but the USA was founded to be a republic but the communist Franklin Roosevelt put us under a democracy".

From my understanding of history a republic had certain rights that could not be add to or removed nor alter in any way. Now in a democratic system any right could be alter and or change to fit the government and or people. Now in a democratic republic like the united states. Allows for the first 10 amendments the bill of rights to be set in stone and unable to be altered or removed, But on the plus side of the democratic part amendments can be added on top of that to secure rights as the time changes. These rights however can still be altered or removed like the prohibition laws.

Correct me i be mistaken, but i personally find this government system to be one of the best in way of protecting citizens of both majority and minority sitting. Now if you want to talk about socialism vs capitalism vs communism. These are more ideals on marketing which are connected to government but not a government in it self.

Locked for News Admin to review.
