With each and every election cycle, I begin to increasingly wonder if the Republican Party will change its name to the Oligarch Party. For as pro-freedom and liberty as their rhetoric typically is, it amazes me how anti-democratic the Republican Party has become. Allow me to compare the two parties on this front:
Democratic Party
- Wants to overturn Citizen's United so that corporations are limited in their campaign donations
- Doesn't believe corporations are people
- Wants to expand voting efforts to maximize voting on election day
- Believes a strong economy is build from the base up
- Doesn't believe in repressing certain demographics of voters
Republican Party
- Wants to maintain the Citizen's United ruling so corporations aren't limited in their campaign donations like people are
- Believes corporations are people
- Wants to restrict voting on election day
- Believes in trickle-down economics
- Believes in repressing certain demographics of voters
In other words, while Democrats tend to want to provide a larger range of people with greater opportunities, both professionally and as voters, and to not be dominated by the top 1% of money earners, Republicans tend to want to provide a smaller range of people with greater opportunities, both professionally and as voters, and to be dominated by the top 1% of money earners. If things continue to trend as they have been, before too long, we'll have the Democratic Party and the Oligarch Party, with the latter's logo going from an elephant to a man on a yacht filled with money.
