The false equivalency meme is still out there

Even after what we have witnessed this last year there are still people who think both parties are just as bad.

I am compiling a list of what would and would not be taking place had we elected Hillary.
Please help me add to this list so I can dump it on those I debate in other forums.

----

Russia would be investigated by the DOJ for election interference.
Jeff Sessions would not be trying to turn back the clock on cannabis.
We wouldn't have a tax bill heavily weighted towards the wealthy.
National Monuments wouldn't be shrinking.
The CFPB would not be in danger.
The threat of health insurance removal for millions would not be happening.

Please add...thanks

Ironically someone with an inability to distinguish those things in which the difference is significant (political party differences) may be strongly able to discriminate in those cases where the difference is insignificant (racial differences).

have pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement

Would not have a Muslim ban

Would not have allowed citizens of Puerto Rico to be treated like second class Americans

Would not be terrified of a nuclear exchange with North Korea

Would not be jerking around on the future of DACA . . .

This list has the potential of being YUGE.
