Forum Post: 70+ differences - where do you stand ?

Yes, I know that within the two parties --
their actions & policies,
their members,
their leaders
are not all the same.

What follows is a list of the generalized differences.
Yes, I now there are some “sames” – for example -
such as taking money from the 1% & using drones.

This post is NOT about the sames –
it is about the differences.

Most assuredly – there is no perfect team -- but ---
Which “team” do you want to vote for?
Which “team” do you want “in” power?
Which “team” do you want “out of “ power?
