    It’s the big tent party, though they do a better job representing some than others. Republicans have a pretty narrow ideology, but democrats range anywhere left of far right. It really should be multiple parties, but the US is fucked and has a two party system that is somehow both mostly conservative. I’m hoping we’re watching the republican party explode right now and the democrats will split into two parties.

      The problem is that basically democrats are the party of ‘protect us from Republicans’ and it’s the one thing we agree on. Dividing by actual beliefs would only reduce the numbers of people available to shut down the nonsense Republicans are pulling.
