The Affordable Care Act

Did not result in healthcare for all, and was based on a concept designed by Mitt Romney. It also makes so more people join the program, saving cost for the public budgets, so in a way it's also a tax on the poor. Not helping the economic balance much.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Helping the economy is also in the interest of wall street.

Wall Street reform to prevent a financial crisis happening.

Again is in everyones interest. That is in no way contrary to the interest of the 1% or Wall Street, despite their claims that any regulation is bad.

OK I never said they are equally bad, Republicans are clearly worse. What I'm saying is that Democrats as a party still work for Wall Street, and then throw some crumbs to the people, and protect rights of minorities and environment more.

So clearly the Democrats are better, but they are still very right wing by European standards. You could say just left of fascism.
If we take Germany as an example the AfD is as bad as the Republicans, And German traditional right wing parties are much like the Democrats.
