I support Sanders because he is not a puppet of the big interests in America. There is an often cited article from Princeton published in 2014 stating that the U.S. is in fact an oligarchy. In addition, he genuinely cares about civil rights and was much more proactive about it in the early stages, the same cannot be said of Hilary. He supports civil liberties in that he is against the Patriot Act. He takes a more measured approach to foreign policy, there is a tendency to be heavy handed. I cannot say I support all of his economic initiatives, but the idea of a national healthcare system is growing on me because I do view healthcare as a right, and I think cutting out insurance companies will help to cut the exorbitant costs for medicine that exist in this country.
