I made a lil list of horribles that wouldn't have happened if the Dem won in 016

There would be no trans ban in the military
There would be no directive to remove protection from trans kids in schools
There would be no Muslim ban or variant thereof
ICE would focus on criminal undocumented immigrants, not random ones
There would be no Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on POTUS
There would be no tax cuts for the one percent
There would be no presidential attempts to throw 20,000,000 Americans off of health care rolls
There would be no deliberate family separation policy and the putting of kids in cages.


...


I'm sure there are more.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

which may well make us a government of the whites, by the whites, and for the whites for decades to come.

Just the other day against workers (blocked workers from banding together for arbitration).

The SC upheld Ohio's right to "clean up," that means purge, its voter registration rolls. Establishing precedent for purging.

If the SC sides with Trump on the census, it will give Republicans the electoral college.

If there was no Trump presidency, there would be no rise of White supremacy, perhaps no synagog, no mosque killings. No deaths of refuge children and babies in cages. No heartbreak of damaged children ripped from their mommies/daddies.

If no Trump presidency, there would be no challenge to ACA, again threatening people's health and their very
lives.

If no Trump presidency abortion rights would not be in jeopardy.

No stupid tax cuts for billionaires.

there would be less drilling more green new deal actions. Less pollution, less asthma, less lung disease. Hopefully not only working toward cleaner air, but cleaner water too.

There would be aid to Puerto Rico.

No gag on abortion advice for raped women across the globe, especially in poor areas.

We would have friendlier relations with Cuba.

We would be sanctioning Russia and NK.

We would be strengthening G7 and working with our western democracy allies, not against them.

The world would be a better place, no doubt.

Puerto Rico would be getting the help it needs
Flint might even have clean water
fracking would not be about to tear up CA
Water would be protected
Air would be protected
Taxes would be more equitable
Our allies would trust us
The world would respect us


everything would be better. bottom line.
