What issues are important to Democrats & Repubicans?
|
The differences bertween the Republican and Democratic Parties in the USA are NOT light years apart. Not even close. Rather, insofar as the Political Spectrum is concerned, the two Parties are in the middle of that line. Just to the Right and Left of Dead Center, respectively. The two extreme ideologies would be, rather, Fascism on the Far Right, and Communism on the Far Left. Anarchy, of course, could be considered by some to be on the Far Left of the Spectrum, but in point of fact it is more accurately defined as the total ABSENCE of Government. Ergo, does not belong on the Spectrum. The fact that the two parties often have overlapping or different ideologies but are not radically diametrically opposed is why I myself am an Independent. I have voted Democrat AND Republican in the past. If the two parties were, as you wrongly claimed, "light-years apart"--then I would not find myself sometimes agreeing with one and then the other. As their two ethos' would be too divergent. After all, our personal ideologies usually are fairly coherent and tend to all fall within the same general area of the Spectrum. Hope this helps. Thanks! 1

I knew when I said light years apart I should have said "Conservtives" & Democrats are light years apart. I would agree that RINO's or establishment republicans are not light years apart, but they are still a million times better where by they would have never created Obamacare, or appoint liberal activists in the supreme court to force every state to bow to LGBT agendas. |
