The only thing that every voter should remember is that this is a global economy, so the Democrats nor Republicans have no control.
The Republican Party supports right-leaning ideologies of conservatism, social conservatism, and economic libertarianism, among other -isms. Thus, Republicans broadly advocate for traditional values, a low degree of government interference, and large support of the private sector.
The Democratic Party represents left-leaning, liberal and progressive ideological values, thus advocating for a strong government to regulate business and support for the citizens of the United States. Thus, one of the key values emphasized by Democrats is social responsibility.
The question you should be asking the candidate you are supporting is what is your specific plan to help me and my family?
Does your candidate support election all outcomes and any other hot button issues, like crime, individual rights...etc.?
