Please consider what each of the two parties have done or are likely to do if elected. Which of these issues are going to affect you? Which of these issues will help you and your loved ones have a better life?
Republicans are likely to shut down government, sue the president, repeal Obamacare, give tax cuts to the rich, act for the 1 percent, require voter IDs, abolish the Consumer Protection Agency, reduce unemployment benefits, oppose campaign-finance laws, restrict abortion, are climate change deniers, believe in voter suppression, would like to reduce Social Security benefits and also increase retirement age to 70.
Democrats are likely to raise the minimum wage, expand voting rights, reform immigration laws, close corporate loop holes, act for the 99 percent, protect Social Security benefits, improve Medicare benefits, support investment for roads and bridges that will create more jobs, implement campaign-finance laws, support pay equity, rebuild the middle class and will act on climate change.
