The two parties. Differences

[I_UndergroundPanther]

In considering the nature of people .


Democrats think all
people are good by nature.



Republicans think people are all bad by nature.

[Frasier Balzov]

1. That can't be right.

Christian Democrats wouldn't believe in Original Sin if this were true.

2. Democrats might make statements about "all people"; republicans don't

They believe in dividing people up, making statements about perceived differences rather than commonalities, and assigning privilege to one group while imposing hurdles and restrictions on others.

3. Republicans are bought bullies

4. A Similar Formulation: Promoting the Good vs. Restricting the Bad

I came across a similar formulation years ago concerning liberals and conservatives. I don't recall by whom, but I've always felt it apt. It was said that liberals endeavor to promote the good in and for people, whereas conservatives are concerned to limit the bad. Consider how the two groups deal with education, for example, and crime (or national security).
