American Sikhs:

For those of you who have been watching the news recently, you will know of many of the 2016 Presidential candidates. I have a two questions: 1. Which political party do you feel is more according to Sikh belief and 2. Which candidates or candidates have you narrowed you choices to so far. I am interested to see who Sikhs seem to favor the most.

My background is Republican, but I do not know who is a good candidate according to gurmat.

Thanks!

I like the economical views of Bernie Sanders and many others, but he is for abortion and seems to like the Iran Nuclear Deal, which I find an awful awful idea!

If we are talking about mostly Sikh ethics it is definitely Bernie Sanders; however he does support bigger government which isn't really the best because the debt is pretty high already. A lot of Republicans do have certain Sikh ideals. I'm personally going to vote for the Libertarian Party because of their sympathy to illegal immigrants.

Okay, well WHY does Bernie Sanders have the most Sikh ethics? And why the Libertarian Party? They are for marajuana legalization.

He does believe in the idea of compassion from the government; however that's not how compassion should be. But the Libertarian Party is because they believe in freedom and limited government. Do you support arresting people for medical Marijuana, or denying religious freedom to Rastafarian folk to smoke Marijuana. Also do you support meaningless war-money spend on Afghanistan and Iraq? There are many factors, but Bernie Sanders is similar to that Robin Hood idea.

Haha you have convinced me. I like the idea of Socialism, but until welfare fraud is destroyed, that will play a big role in a Socialist society. So which libertarian are youfor? Gary Johnson?

I don't really like any of the candidates this year, I sorta wish Ron Paul was still a Libertarian member. Gary Johnson is too extreme and despite I like his ideas he couldn't do it in 4 years. Left-Libertarian is what I'm more interested in.

If nobody turns up, who do you figure you'll vote for? The Constitution Party is always pretty good.
