If you have solid credentials, references and a solid STEM resume and are working dead end pedestrian jobs scouring the internet for open positions for almost a year and are tired of it which political part is the best to vote for. I dont expect either one to "solve" my issues but since I am a voter I might as well vote in my own best interests.

No one can help you there. If you have a STEM resume (with a degree) then you need to find a city that has lots of STEM jobs. Don't expect a politician to bring STEM work to some place that has no industry for it.
As someone who is usually looking for people to fill technical positions I find it hard to believe someone with a solid STEM resume has trouble finding an excellent paying job.

Looking back on my younger self I would never have imagined that by setting myself up with a top tier degree and all the certs would put me in a 1/100 position. I figured maybe 1/5.
Even still one position with 25 qualified are not good odds.
Why not enlist the aid of your alma mater's Center for Career Opportunities (or similar), or even better... reach out to some of your former STEM profs for referrals, etc. Networking makes a huge difference when searching for a job. Did you go to a big university? Or a small liberal arts school? Frequently, the top corporations hiring for STEM (more particularly, engineers, such as in your case) recruit from the big, highly ranked universities. I see that all the time.
Graduated from the colorado school of mines in chemical engineering, was unemployed for over a year after graduation. Got the pink slip this past January and still havent found a comperable engineering roll.
Just having a top tier degree is not really worth it, if they were so great employers would be falling over each other as soon as they saw that on my resume even if it was to leverage as a transferable skill set to something comparable ...... but they dont.
Small school, pretty low rank for engineering. Their Chemical Engineering program isn't even ranked.
