The same with Democrats (personal freedom).

Different spins on Oligarchy/Corporatocracy. The Sanders wing of the Democratic party seems like the only one challenging.

  It's all the same. I hate that people think there is this "left/right" gap when there isn't. Sanders and Hillary both back Obamas official lines including increased wars, creating/arming ISIL/ISIS (yes, that was created by the US, directly. Don't kid yourself. In 30 years it will come out of a declassified document, just like Cointelpro, Bay of Pigs and the 1973 cope in Chile). In regards to legalization, I don't think the US federal government will take a stance either way, unless Canada gets full legalization passed first. The biggest reason that it simply can't be legal at a federal level involves international treaties (which is why it's not even technically legal in The Netherlands, even though there are laws governing growing, sale and taxation .. even though it's still not legal to sell.. it's just 'tolerated' and taxed ...and regulated).

    Bernie has been pretty clear that he believes the greatest threat to national security is global warming, not Isis.

      I can't fault his analysis, there.

    > Sanders and Hillary both back Obamas official lines including increased wars The only remaining candidate to vote against war is Sanders. The only candidate to support legalization of MJ is Sanders.

    While I agree there isn't a huge gap, I'm not sure "increased wars" is true in Sanders case. Sorry if I appear to be nitpicking, but at election time, unintended misinformation is everywhere.

      Too true! What isn't everywhere is who is going to be the candidates' VP? Who are the other members of their cabinets going to be? These nominations are the only true powers a Prez has besides a veto(overridable) & political 'influence'(real or perceived). Obama was ALL about transparency & change... until he chose Mr Patriot Act Biden & left Geitner & Gates right where they could continue the banker war on the economy and saving the military complex.
