This simple graphic by @TheSWPrincess which I posted on FB has now been shared over 600 times in a little over 1 hour.
That is how hungry people are for information on candidates’ track records and what they have accomplished. Do that instead! pic.twitter.com/dLB8VXIR65

I think we will mcar.

We have a good crew here. Many I know and some I have no clue about. I admit, I do not know them. Will research. I do have a favorite, yet for now will remain undecided.

Unlike when Obama ran...he was the one from day one.

We are the ones that we have been waiting for.

I have never seen a more progressive group running for President. So young and bold and so many beautiful colors and so many women too. I have a tear in my eye. They are the ones.

They are the world. They are the people. They are the ones to make a better life for you and me.

as for every single bill they voted on. To me, it isn't what they did successfully but more of what they should have done and did not. As far as politicians go, I judge them more on the later than on the former.

How interesting! Clearly, some are not as successful as others. Just "eyeballing" it, it's easy for me to see the drastic differences.

I remember asking not long ago about whether there was a list of someone's major legislative accomplishments... and nobody ever answered me (other than to give me guff). At the time, I suspected I had hit a nerve... now I know why.
