I really wish we could divorce economic policy from purely social issues. There's no reason my stance on guns or religion or whatever should force me to also align with the party line on how high I think taxes should be. Where are the socialists who believe the government should tax the rich to give every citizen a gun & a bible, or the laissez-faire folks who want to eliminate war, violence, and bigotry because it's not as profitable?

- nopenopenopeno 5y agoLucky for you, the Democratic Party and Republican Party have nearly identical priorities on economic politics: corporations and the rich. Both parties share sweeping agreement on nearly every single economic bill that passes. If you ever start thinking they might disagree about something, don’t worry because it will never pass, because they don’t disagree. The record is painfully clear. You only have one choice on economic policy.
