We're still really far away from the election but I'm seeing a lot of criticism around here from supporters of some Democratic candidates when talking about other Democrats. This one isn't progressive enough, this one is too unrealistic, this one has some character issues, this one is too old, this one is too young, this one supported positions a long time ago that we wouldn't support today, this one is too inexperienced, whatever. I feel like all that stuff has a purpose, I suppose, in choosing who the Democratic nominee is. But it's also dangerous if supporters of the candidates that don't win the nomination sit out the election or vote third party or even vote Trump. So ideally I'd like this thread to focus on clear distinctions that can be made between Trump and the entire Democratic field. Hopefully that will motivate all the anti-Trump folks that they need to fully support the Democratic nominee whoever that ends up being. Here are some ideas off the top of my head that probably need to be fleshed out further:
Trump has done less than nothing to combat change -- he is moving us in the complete opposite direction. Every Democratic candidate takes climate change seriously and wants to take action to combat it.
Trump has done nothing to expand the number of people that are able to get affordable health care. Every Democratic candidate has expressed interest in making sure that more people are able to get adequate health care.
Trump gave a giant tax cut to the wealthy. I believe very Democratic candidate has expressed an interest in increasing taxes on the wealthy to pay for social programs that benefit the less-well off.
OK I got other stuff to do but it would make me happy if this thread could be a constant reminder that the differences among the Democratic candidates are tiny in comparison to the differences between any one of them and Trump.
