Good or bad, I don't know. At least they're attempting something.

That is largely the case, but Democrats have lost the plot on what will actually positively impact the country in most topics.

I don't know all that much about both parties tbh

They have a decent approach to healthcare though

universal health insurance and publicly funded college are about the only genuinely good ideas they've got so far, at least ideas held up by several candidates

Those are the only two that I know they have

but the rest are open borders, a no-delay sharp jump in minimum wage, continual bending of the knee to identitarian rhetoric like reparations, and refusal to substantively oppose the current foreign policy of endless war

I would imagine the democrats to be hawks?

I would have expected doves?

But you're absolutely correct about Republicans simply being contrarian and offering no solutions of their own

Republicans certainly corner the political market on border security, but that's really about it.

Sounds about right

That's where most of their focus is

That and "Socialism bad"

exactly, and they've spent decades branding any sort of direct-government-interaction with these issues as 'socialism', that its no wonder a new generation has lost patience and said "you know what, fine, guess we're socialists now."

Yep

That's the red scare for you

It seems like the Republicans are out of touch with the times

Stuck in the cold war

Don't forget, Socialist and communist ideology hit fertile soil in Russia because the tsars were fucking isular, self-involved monarchs with no regard for the citizenry

Moscow was starving long before Lenin came along.

Yep

The Republicans offering very little is the reason I think they will lose in 2020

Communism and socialism are incorrect philosophies that lead to ruin, that's not in question. But Republican party orthodoxy gets a fair share of credit for its rise in America.

Tbh what the Democrats are offering isn't even that bad

They'll never get any of the 'radical' things through

But the more moderate reforms, they could do

*Depending on what the houses look like*

But the more moderate reform is acceptable to a majority of Democrats

Whereas the extreme only appeals to a minority.

I think you people are vastly simplifying the whole thing.
First, blaming Republicans founded on the basis of the Laissez-faire for being against state interventioin is like blaming a dog for barking.
Second, the Universal Healthcare in Amerca has been blocked by Republicans and Democrats in the psat and will be in the future near future in multiple states.

States like California has voted against State level univsersal heatlchare, thsi is not a partisan issue.

The issue is Laissez-faire isn't providing anymore

In some areas *

The issue is, the Republicans are stuck to it and won't reform, or change.

no, the issue is lazze faire should apply to commodity goods and services, not fucking hospitals and schools

or PRISONS

First, There is no Laisserz-faire in the US, not anymore.
Second, Laisserz-faire economic is doing pretty well in countries like Sweden.

Probably that yeah

there's one thing you can't blame democrats for, fucking disgusting private prisons
