Political Party Analysis

Our country runs on a bipartisan system. This being said, our choices as voters between the two parties should be drastically different, correct? For the most part, this statement is true. The parties are basically exact opposites, or at least that's what the graphic would have you believe. However, the two separate parties do have their similarities, but the graphic attempts to hide them from your average viewer. For example, both Democrats and Republicans are shown to be very religious, for the most part. This showcases that this obviously must be something that our society as a whole cares about, regardless of political affiliation. Additionally, the graphic also draws much attention to the importance of family on both sides of the political spectrum. This is not an inherently political concept, but it is given more emphasis than a more politically heated issue like religion, which I find interesting. And lastly, the key concept that is shared between both parties is the end goal. Both parties have set out to create a government that provides for it's citizens in the best way it possibly can. Sure, as the graphic shows, the Right and the Left have drastically different ways of going about it, but both sides share the same subheadings. Two different sides working to accomplish a similar goal.
