Absolutely 100 percent yes. These two parties bicker and fight so much it is easy to be fooled, but on all the major stuff they agree. Traditionally it has been the case that the Republicans stood for raw capitalism, while the Democrats stood for watered down capitalism with social safety nets in place to assist the worst off. However, it is also true to say that in recent years the two parties have been polarising from each other at an alarming rate, with the Democrats flirting with socialism (i.e. Bernie Sanders) and the Republicans with fascism (i.e. Trump and the power behind Bush Junior). Side: Yes.
