(11,833 posts)Right now I'm for Sanders because I believe wealth inequality is a critical problem. I believe he is correct on reducing our military budget, taxing the rich to gain a fairer system, public works projects and universal health care. I want to see him speak more comprehensively on civil rights.
My second choice is Martin O'Malley. I think he's a genuine progressive and I like that he has worked with people as mayor and governor. He's demonstrated he can help achieve excellent results, improving the quality of lives in Baltimore and the State of Maryland. He's giving policy proposals that are outstanding, particularly the ones for reigning in Wall Street.
Hillary is currently my third choice in the primaries. I wouldn't hesitate voting for her in the general election if she wins the nomination. I think she is progressive and diplomatic. I'd like to see her specifically call for raising the minimum wage to $15 and reinstating Glass-Steagall.
I think any of the three would make a fine President, particularly if we give them a more liberal Congress.
