Hillary and Jeb! that came out months ago said something about Jeb and Hillary that is very similar to what this chart says.

On LGBT rights, yes, they both get the same check mark TODAY. But Hillary only earned that check mark in 2013. Bernie earned it decades ago. This OP inspired me to do a thread on the GLBT records Sanders, O'Malley and Hillary.

Spoiler alert: Bernie was the first of the 3 by far to get on board with equal marriage and Hillary was the last of the 3 to get on board with equal marriage, even though Hillary and Bernie started in politics/activism at about the same time. In fact, Hillary may have started sooner than Bernie.
