> Wouldn’t republicans believe more in ‘...’ where democrats would be more ‘...’ With only two parties I don't think the parties themselves are good proxies for the views of the people who end up voting for them. I think generally most people would want 1) each to their own 3) success of the hardworking 3) equality for everyone. With only two parties for the whole political spectrum neither group is actually that distinct. Many people vote on the key issues that impact their day-to-day and so there's generally no real difference on issues that aren't in the news. Anyways, being on the west coast I assume that most of the Americans I'm talking about are Dems, and in Canada, probably 'Liberals'. I think their (perfectly reasonable) hippy distrust of government and corporations makes them doubt the "benefits" meaning they had no reason to do it for neighbors either. (This was 2+y ago now, who knows where they are now.) A community meeting I went to a few years ago spent twenty minutes or so discussing microwaved water, and if the venue used a microwave and whether some people were "safe to drink the tea", and went downhill from there in a science sense. Everyone was very eager to help but it wasn't a terribly well informed group.
