Comparing the Republicans and Democrats

We commonly hear that the two major American political parties are virtually indistinguishable from one another, and perhaps that was true a few decades ago when centrism was the rule of the day.

But, as illustrated in the meme here, this is most definitely no longer the case.

There is a limit to what Democrats can achieve, even if they control the White House and both chambers of congress, due to the power of the lobbies. If that weren’t the case, within a few months, we’d have common sense gun laws, women’s right, universal healthcare, quality education, and a plan in place that moves this country in the direction of environmental sustainability.
