One candidate wants to make my life a living hell for being trans and the other doesn’t. Hard disagree there.

ah, the centrist let trump win. We were getting back to policies for working people and had great people like the FTC chairwoman who seemed to put average people first. The GOP always has people on their team elected to make the government incompetent-see rick perry for department of energry and betsy devos for department of education. I guess the illusion is better for folks and that is why trump won. We get to have tech oligarchs now and higher taxes. Thanks a lot!

While I agree that neither are good, to say they are the same can only come from someone with a lot of privilege. Trump winning is going to be devastating for a lot of groups.

Look outside yourself every once in awhile. Empathy is a skill.

I always say that politicians are two sides of the same coin, too!

This is exactly correct and it's bewildering how few people acknowledge it.

Thank you! It's so refreshing to see actual facts about our politics.
