Issue you disagree with the other party on the most

[Sumner 1868]

So called "social justice."  It's a code word for tyranny of the minorities.

Hilarious.

[Sumner 1868]

Democrats: foreign policy, general attitude towards American exceptionalism
Republicans: healthcare

Though the former irks me far more

So, basically your a neoconservative?

[Sumner 1868]

Since I seem to have inadvertently revived this thread, I'll answer with the Republican commitment to militarism, although I increasing have similar problems with my own party.

[Sumner 1868]

Democrats:  Lack of interest in reforming entitlements

Republicans:  Education

Please stop calling austerity/privatization "reform."

No.  Finding alternate ways to measure inflation/COLA, raising the retirement age, cutting some benefits for the wealthiest seniors, and forcing all new state employees to enroll in Social Security does not equate to "privatization"

There's a tendency to call privatization "reform" on the far-right. Apparently you are not referring to this, so I apologize.

[Sumner 1868]

I am fed up with both parties because instead of working in unison to solve the most pressing and urgent issues facing the country, both the Republicans and Democrats want to pander to their bases and refuse to come together and find solutions to our long-term challenges.

I agree with pandering, but it seems like when they do come together, it means passing the worst legislation imaginable (i.e., the Patriot Act, Homeland Security).

[Sumner 1868]

Democrats: Israel
Republicans: Climate Change

What does this mean?

It means, that minus Obama's recent mutterings the democratic party is simply too pro-Israeli.

I support the right for Israel to exist, I don't support it being an apartheid state

Oh, good. I was worried for a minute you meant something like "how dare the president mildly inconvenience Saintly Bibi!"
