Democrats vs Republicans

Republican voters are not most Americans

Yet another thing Democrats fight against and Republicans support

Part of the problem here is that we don't have a very good range of views represented in our political parties. The Republicans actually have a pretty diverse mix of traditional conservatives, neoconservatives and libertarians. The Democrats, on the other hand, are almost pathologically centrist. The most popular politician in America is a left-wing Democrat who supports free public universities and halving student loan interest rates, but rather than trying to cultivate that popularity, th

You seem quite invested in the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Normal humans are not so invested. We don't care whether a particular face of the status quo party is elected; we just want our votes to lead to policies we support. This has been a rough year for that: during a health emergency Congress has given the rich trillions of dollars in nearly unanimous fashion but hasn't found a way to improve health care. One difference I see is that Republicans have built a nation

Democrats and Republicans all want to spend money, just on different things. Republicans do not want to pay for it and indeed lower government revenues to profit the 1%. Dems want to spend it on pork and social programs. This is the undeniable truth of American politics. Also republicans are becoming more fascistic and attempting to put agents in places (state government mostly) to overthrow the next Presidential election via throwing out Electors if they need to and the American public knows th

This is compounded by the current situation where, many things cause a democrat vote to be worth less than a republican vote in actually changing power balances.

Chomsky and Sanders are very different from the democratic party. The democratic party is to the left of the GOP but to the right of anything else, including the American people.Elections have become an us vs them thing focusing on a few issues that will divide us, but mostly the population are significantly to the left of both parties in the US on actual issues.If you described something exactly like Obamacare, but called it Trumpcare it would be super popular with GOP voters and maybe ha

do you believe Democrat and Republicans have significant policy differences?

The Democratic Party is a long-standing "bankers party" and "corporatists party" (a party for big companies and organizations). In that sense, they're just as "bad" as the Republican Party, and due to how the whole democratic system is set up in the USA, Americans are in reality bereft of alternatives. Picking anyone else than those two, is effectively a blank vote. This system can at least in part explain why so many Americans choose to stay at home during the
