Given that the GOP:
Guns: Don't even believe in background checks anymore
Environment: Deny global warming and shill for the companies most responsible for air and water pollution
Intervention: Worship the idea of invading anywhere they damn please, and seemingly prefer to regulate everyone else except the local people
Regulation: Needlessly cut social services and lower taxes for the rich arbitrarily
Education: Gut it at every chance they can, especially at the federal level when that's exactly where we need it
Military: Spend needlessly on it
Leadership: McConnell and Boehner are beyond insufferable, and now Tom Cotton's rising...
The Poor in General: Keep being compared to animals and dehumanized
And the only way to effectively minimize such views is to vote Democratic
I believe in background checks and environmentalism. The federal government has no place in education, either.
So what, that's diddly squat against the likes of Jim Inhofe and the rest of the base controlling that, claiming Al Gore "politicized" it and so on.
And the NRA clearly holds the party hostage as well.
Also the States Right's argument for Education? That just leads to quiet resegregation via charter schools, textbook dissonances, and a gap state by state.

I don't like this sort of thing. I think that you should be a member of a party because you believe in that party's ideals and platform (generally). I'm definitely not a Democrat because I dislike the GOP.
That's just the reality of two parties having all the power, and one of them goes too far. All you can do to effectively regulate things is to vote for the party that still has some grip on reality and once in a while might do something right and stop the one with no grip at all.
