Yes. But over my lifetime, I've noticed since 1980, that republicans kept moving further and further to the right, and democrats also moved to the right, to now the democrats are further to the right on many issue than republicans were in 1980.

Republicans (as in politicians, not voters) have pretty much almost totally sold out to special int4erests, while democrats have sold otu some, but not quite as much. I see republicans movign towards a corporatocracy, while democrats are just corporate light.

Ones just a little less crazy than the other.

Its hard for the bird of freedom and peace to soar with two right wings!

only to those on the podiums

The two-party system is very important.

As long as we are fighting each other we aren't fighting the ones sending us to war and ripping us off.

I was a Republican from Reagan through little Bush's second term. I started having issues during shrub's presidency; and, when McCain sold out and chose Palin as a running mate, I left. I went to Independent, then to No Party Affiliation; and, in this last election changed to Democrat. Yes, there are issues the Democrats need to address; but, to say that the differences between the parties are only superficial, in my opinion, is simply incorrect. Just look at what the Rethuglicans are trying to do. They are catering to those who want to use government to push their religious views onto everyone else; they, right now, are trying to fill the courts with conservatives and reactionaries. They are doing all they can to suppress democracy by making it harder to vote. They are the ones who want to make the rich richer at the expense of everyone else. They are the ones who deny climate change. They are the ones who want to make us less safe through deregulation...and the list goes on. The Democrats are not perfect...but I will take them any day over any Republican--to include the most "liberal" Republican (which, by today's standards, is still very conservative).
