I don't have a horse in the race on US politics, but as an outsider —

The US appears to be insolvent.

And the republican platform is to say, we acknowledge we're potentially insolvent and are going to try to do something about it.

And the democrat platform is to say, we don't acknowledge we're insolvent and so all those things you're doing are wrong and we prefer status quo.

Is that a fair summary?

It comes down to individuals. As with everything else in life.

under Clinton we had a budget surplus. I could say there are democrats who are like how you describe republicans, and vice versa.

But yes generally speaking, republicans are for less government interference and democrats are for more support from government.

Both are well intentioned ideals.

Except government is massive now... So basically you support commission if you're a Democrat at this point.

I’m assuming you mean communism and yeah listen I’m republican, and I think you see a trend of more republicans because government has gotten massive and bloated.

You need a government to work for the people. And that’s what some democrats (and republicans) believe in, that is not communism.

But i get your point, a lot of democrats are pushing for things that are the beginning of the road to communism.
