Didn't say they were the same at all. Said their reigns would be the same for the common people.
I'm not going to get into a semantics debate with you but this is exactly what you said.
Cersi does absolutely horrid things to her enemies but what would make Dany a better queen for the people?
She's just as power-thirsty as Cersi if not more so. I haven't seen anything in the show that indicates the people would have different experiences under different rulers except for that brief bit about Joffrey the gawd wanting to raise taxes on the North.
Cersi isn't really cruel to anyone except her enemies and Tyrion. She even treated Sansa decent. Yeah, she stole the throne for her son. So what? Isn't Dany trying to steal the throne as well?
In Essos Dany made a difference because she freed slaves (even though she did it for self-serving reasons IMO). In Westeros slavery has been forbidden for generations. How is she going to actually govern differently?
You're clearly trying to make an equivalency, which doesn't work when you actually contrast the characters and actions of Danny and Cersei.
