It’s basically a national level issues guide. Highly recommend – esp if you’re “not that into politics” and want a quick summary of the big issues right now based on party leadership
Policies > Party
Just a few examples:
1. Do you want comprehensive background checks in order to buy a gun in America?
One hundred percent of the totalsponsors of Background Check Expansion Act are Democrats. The only way for this to happen is to vote for Democrats.
2. Do you want to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico?
While there are some Democrats who support “the wall,” 100 percent of the sponsors of the Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act are Republicans. The only way for this to happen is to vote for Republicans.
3. Do you want mandatory coverage for pre-existing conditions?
One hundred percent of those who voted for the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) were Democrats; 100 percent of the Democrats in Congress voted against the ObamaCare repeal endorsed by Donald Trump. Republicans have made numerous attempts to repeal ObamaCare since Trump took office, and voted dozens of times during the Obama administration. The only way for that to continue to happen is to vote for Democrats.
7. Do you want equal pay for women in America?
Of the 247 sponsorsof
the Paycheck Fairness Act, to close loopholes that prevent women from
receiving less than $1 for every $1 a man makes at the same work, 246
are Democrats. Only one is a Republican. The only way for that to happen is to vote for Democrats.
8. Do you want to get money out of politics?
There are 162 sponsors of the Government By the People Act; 29 sponsors of the Fair Elections Now Act; and 16 sponsors
of the We the People Democracy Reform Act, to reduce the role of money
and big money lobbyists in American elections and American politics. At
207 total, 206 are Democrats. Of the 217 totalsponsors of the DISCLOSE Act, to disclose the identities of corporate “dark money donors,” all are Democrats. The only way for that to happen is to vote for Democrats.
