The question then is divining what this means for platforms...
So for the republicans, it looks like they're pro-electronics, pro-drug legalization (or possibly for raising taxes on things other than pot and crack), and pro-risk taking. Perhaps they've become a cybermancy party of some sort. Supporting the risky use of electronics in all its forms.
The democrats seem to be pro-safety, pro-biology, and pro-music (cello + porn music). So maybe they're supporting an agenda of bio-supremacy. An America (or world) that is all about the rhythm of life. Perhaps supporting genetic engineering so that the world has better strippers, medications, and productive workers whom are justified with their mandatory 3 month vacation because they're so awesome the rest of the time.
So where does leave the party dynamics?
The republicans accuse the democrats of wanting to convert everyone into parts of a bio-utopia where everyone is part of an effective larger organism, and thus support taxing drugs that make people happy but productive and want to cut taxes on all other drugs. The democrats in return accuse the republicans of cyberterrorism and being in cahoots with the robot empire of Canada, and thus want to cut taxes on bio-computers and raise taxes on silicon and ethernet cables.
And cowboys support the republicans because they promise that they'll retake Texas from the giant slime mold that invaded in 2039, which they blame on the democrats. Pedigree dog owners support the democrats as the dems support cloning of rare dog breeds to offset the growing market for dog skeleton hood ornaments, instead of hooligans stealing non-cloned dogs.
That future seems like a very wacky place.
