Six Years of Conservatism, the A to Z Case for a Democratic House and Senate

I know I'm forgetting things.

Please help me by adding what I've missed in comments.

Most things are listed because conservative and republican leadership has had a negative impact, some things are listed because, under that leadership, no progress has been made, no effort has been made, or it is clearly not a priority.

Please vote tomorrow. Vote for happiness. Vote for love. Vote for peace.
