Republican party - All the stupid religious and morality nonsense that is completely hypocritical to being an actual fiscal conservative. Abortions save millions upon millions of dollars, but the Republican party has a problem with them because of make believe nonsense that my 7 year old can see through. I mean seriously, if the Republican party hates all these poor people on welfare that practically multiply when you add water to them, then why not support something that helps eliminate the problem before it even starts? Abortions are the equivalent of smashing wasp larvae before they ever get a chance to become pests. It makes no sense at all as a fiscal conservative to not be on board with them. Another one would be the war on drugs. While I get not legalizing stuff like meth or heroine is a no brainer, putting people in jail for drugs is nonsense. What a huge waste of money and resources. Hey, let's keep people in cages for years on end with the tax payers money to prevent them from doing something that not only can't be controlled but also can be taxed in some cases (weed)....... Derp
Democratic party- A large portion of the party is nothing more than a bunch of crybaby losers that can't handle ANYTHING. This is a party that will disenfranchise millions upon millions of people just to cater to some tiny minority that is painted as a victim. This is a party that's willing to let teenage boys that claim to identify more as being chicks into a girls locker room, while still beating the war drums about creepy men constantly sexually assaulting women. This is a party that will cater to one of the most conservative religions on earth because they see the culture as more of an underdog than the gender it discriminates against. Yay, let's empower women, but let this culture that treats them like dirt off the hook because they're also victims....what? The constant race baiting, political correctness, and complete disrespect for law and order within the modern Democratic party is pathetic.
I'll also add that both parties are full of reasonable people with ideas worth exploring but they get drowned out by the fringe lunatics. For example, John Kasich was a perfectly reasonable republican candidate but he got crushed by both Trump and Cruiz from the fringe camp.
I don't think there's any reasonable Democrat though. Please name one if you could.

Republicans - there honestly isn't an issue where they haven't gone completely off the rails. The party is now 100% centered on fantasy and an outright denial of facts and led by people who see ignorance as a virtue. There's the odd republican here and there who is reasonable, but they're an increasingly rare breed.
Democrats - so much focus on identity politics. Not everything has to be framed in terms of gender, sexual orientation, race, or origin. There are plenty of issues that affect everyone and most people actually agree with the Democratic policy positions, but it never goes anywhere because so many are so busy screaming about whatever the oppressed group is this week.
I was a Republican until I decided to become an independent a few months ago mainly due to my more moderate views on the social issues as many in the Republican Party consider themselves social conservatives which to me is somewhat hypocritical when you preach for a smaller less intrusive governments when it comes to protecting gun rights, expanding economic growth and preserving religious liberty though yet support the federal ban on marijuana to be enforced ignoring the true conservative movement that supports states rights.
