Yeah, many the candidates aren't exactly presidential material. So far the best one seems to be Bernie Sanders. He addresses actual issues in the U.S instead of giant walls and holiday coffee cups.

Trump as a person isn't good, but I like his political views.
And I do not like Bernie. He supports socialism, and socialism is no good.

I am kind of a middle person but why would socialism be no good.

In socialist countries, everyone is paid a government salary. It doesn't matter if a person spent years of schooling to become, say, a doctor. A doctor will have the same salary as a janitor, or a garbage man. The money you earn is entirely confiscated by the government and re-distributed to everyone, whether or not everyone works.
Socialism rarely works well. Vietnam, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, China, and Cambodia have socialist systems. Would you live in any of those countries?

When you can no longer achieve a 100% success rate in the ZT2 cloning/training mini games (even though I hardly ever play these), because the "down" key on my keyboard no longer works.

So, the traps used at the natural park to catch wil boars aren't being used at all because the director says there's no money to buy the sweetcorn to lure the animals (that gives you an idea of how crazy things are here), but they still get checked on every now and then.
Well, my dad found one with a boar trapped in, annd the worst part is that the poor beast had 3 crossbow arrows stuck in the body and was still alive.

No money to buy sweetcorn? Did they spent it all on the traps? And why leave them out if not in use? wouldn't other animals get trapped or are the trap set to be triggered specifically by an animal the size of a boar?

@Phoenixtiger: If you see the amount of money a ton of CEO's and people like that are making, and that other people are struggling to make enough money for their family on the minimum wage, you'll see that the rich guys have millions to spare. They can afford to be taxed more.

The traps aren't movable, they are fenced areas of the forest where the wardens put food so the animals get used to visit those places. And they aren't always rigged, the door is locked open when they are not being used, animals can get in and out safely. Although they are almost specific for boars, since the majority of the animals in the park can get out of them by flying or climbing the mesh, and fallows don't usually get in them because the door is low. Sometimes porcupines are found inside, but given enough time those can get out on their own too.

As for the sweetcorn, I don't know if that's a real thing and the situation is really that bad, or if it's stuff made up by the director as part of one of his crazy ideas which so far have done more harm than good to the park.

Issue is, people are using the traps to poach. And this last case was extreme.

I don't understand much about this stuff, but I'm pretty sure socialism doesn't work like that.
This sounds more like theoretical communism if I'm not wrong.

The government isn't just going to raise taxes for rich people. It's going to raise taxes for everyone, which will hurt the middle class.

And how can you be sure they'll do that?

How are you so sure that everyone in a socialist country has the same wage?

Because that is like the biggest political myth ever.

When people I know have made fun of tragedies like 9/11 or other terrorist attacks and afterwards become hypocrites by pretending to be good people with morals that care about the Paris attack and bash anyone that makes fun of it. But they'll just turn around a couple of weeks later and begin making jokes about it. Rinse and repeat.
