The Democratic Party aka the Socialist party believes in government provided health care for all as well as government paid college education for the poor and middle classes. This will be paid by major tax increases. On social issues they are still pro-choice and pro-gay marriage and believe the federal government has jurisdiction over both.
The Republican Party has split by 2024 into two parties. The first one, maintains the Republican party name and believes in government funded health care and college education. This will be paid with moderate tax increases, along with cuts in welfare programs and other social programs to try to keep taxes somewhat low. On social issues, the party is pro-life and wants abortions banned nationally. They are anti-gay marriage but want to pass federal civil union laws.
The second faction of the Republican party is made up of limited government conservatives and social libertarians. They believe strongly in the constitution as written by the founding fathers and interpret it as such. The government should not provide health care or education and the federal government is limited in it's scope. More power is given to the states as was intended. Social issues such as abortion and gay marriage are not part of the national debate.
Democrat party--43%
Republican party--25%
Limited government--32%
The Democrat party is strongest in the Northeast and West, but has a significant presence across most of the country except the mountain west.
The Republican party is made up of Evangelical Christians and socially conservative minority voters.
The Limited government party has strength across the country but not enough to win the election. It's base is mostly part of the white population and has very little minority support.
We're more than halfway there, and this is looking the most promising IMO.
