I agree completely that there are some bad policies and practices on both sides of the aisle, Mags. And, the shaking that's going down has affected both parties, which is good.
But, I think in this particular election cycle, the Independent running as a Democrat and the established Democratic nominee have done a much better job addressing the problems, laying out and articulating solutions, and speaking intelligently to the American people than the Republican nominee.
Citizens United, the NRA strong-hold on established politicians, government attempts to interfere on people's choices when it comes to their bodies and the bedroom (often rationalized by the politicians'/party's religious beliefs), proposing unconstitutional policies, failure to acknowledge and address racial inequities, advocating policies that benefit the very wealthy at the expense of the rest, publicly spreading false claims and rhetoric and denying science..are some of the major political problems of concern to me and which I see as having been advocated/perpetuated primarily by the GOP.
