I think that Bernie Sanders won the Democratic Primary Debate. The two strongest candidates in the debate were Clinton and Sanders, and Sanders defeated Clinton by far. Throughout the debate, Sanders kept going back to the idea that climate change is the nations biggest threat at the moment, which I wholeheartedly agree with since the climate is an uncontrollable force that is becoming quite a problem for the environment. One of Sanders' strongest quotes was, in response to how he would pay for his new tax proposals, "Well, let me tell you, Donald Trump and his billionaire friends under my policies are going to pay a hell of a lot more in taxes today — taxes in the future than they're paying today." In this quote Sanders is reinforcing points and plans he made throughout the debate in regards to tax proposals that will affect income inequality. Sanders' ratings in the polls have been growing significantly leading up to the election. According to the Huffington Post, Sanders was showing .9% support in June of 2014 and 24.4% support in October of 2015, within the democratic party.
The main source in which I get my information from is the internet. Whenever I am curious about a new topic or am trying to research something, the internet is almost involuntarily where I gravitate to. The internet itself does not have its own underlying perspective or bias of any specific topic, it all depends on the perspective of the author whatever topic you are inquiring about. The internet is only a carrying device that gets the information from the author's minds and into our minds. Though on the internet there is a source with a different perspective for almost every topic out there. And it is from those different perspectives is where the Big Sort comes in. We all have an underlying perspective of a certain topic, and we will turn to the internet for more information about that topic. Once we find a source that matches our perspective we will continue to refer back to the source for more topics; and we will then stick to those perspectives we agreed with the perspective of a topic from the same source. This is how we can then relate to other people with similar perspectives and is how we are sorted into social groups.
