Bernie Sanders. If you are on the fence between HRC and Bernie, get off the fence. Why? There is no risk, no downside to voting for Bernie.
Why? Either HRC or Bernie will absolutely crush any of the GOP candidates in a 1:1 contest. On top of that, both Trump and Cruz have the ego that they will likely run an independent campaign against the RNC. So the GOP nominee is looking at a max of 37% of the vote, and probably a lot less.
So finally as a progressive, liberal person you can actually vote your heart and mind and go for Bernie.
His career is 10 years longer than HRC, and yet he has been forever consistent and clean in his policies and actions. He is astonishingly clear of any dirt or disappointments.
Finally on taxes, Bernie is trading small incremental increases to the marginal tax brackets way up there at 300k+ in exchange for universal healthcare. Each of the 100 million households in the USA would save at least $3000 a year and that will all go back into the economy, that is $300 billion of genuine, free market glorious capitalism folks.
If you are a person who makes 500k a year, yes after you follow all of the accounting tricks, you might have 100k subject to 4% more taxes, so you pay 4k more. But so what? How did you get 500k a year? Doing something successful in the economy and now you have another 300 billion to go after.
The only people who lose are trust fund decamultimillionaires who don't know how to actually make money. Fuck them, they are a drag on the economy as it is.
There is no downside. Vote Bernie Sanders.
