2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumQuick list of differences between the Dems and the GOP.
Looks like "there's no difference between the parties" is becoming a popular talking point. Because Hillary is so bad, I guess, she might as well be a Republican.
So let's list some of the many big differences.
The GOP wants to deport 10 million people. The Dems want a path to citizenship.
The GOP wants a lower/non-existent minimum wage. The Dems want to raise it.
The GOP thinks climate change is a hoax. The Dems want to combat it.
The GOP wants to break up unions. The Dems want to protect them.
The GOP wants to cut taxes on the rich. The Dems want to increase them.
The GOP wants to criminalize abortion. The Dems want to protect choice.
The list goes on. Feel free to add more.
The difference between that parties are enormous, and it's not just a few issues, it's all of them. Especially with Trump/Cruz as the GOP nominee.

(2,280 posts)Which of those issues where the GOP/Dems are night and day do you think is funny? Maybe the minimum wage is funny? Maybe the deportations are funny?
Be specific.

I know the H1-B very well. We shouldnt have it, its very, very bad for workers, Mr. Trump said during the Republican debate at Miami University. He added as an employer, hes used the program, but in reality it doesnt benefit U.S. workers.
Its unfair to our workers and we should end it, Mr. Trump said, saying the program should be evaluated and ended if needed within one to two years after he takes office.

Hillary Clinton, one of the leading Democratic presidential candidates, supports increasing the cap on H-1B Visas. She argues that foreign skilled workers contribute a great deal to the American economy, and increasing the cap will help push technological development forward in the United States.
