The general voting public doesn't care about each parties platform.

All the general public voters care about is identity group issues.

Neutrality in regards to making laws for or against individuals, genders, class, race, sexuality, and so forth. For legalization of marijuana. Changing their stance on environmental issues. Doing away with corruption and stopping kickbacks from Lobyist and change Election funding. Tax reform. Taking ideas or reaching for candidates from the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Agree or disagree?

You forgot embracing mass immigration both legally and illegally. No thanks!

The Goverment should only offer services to documented workers and impose taxes on businesses that employ undocumented workers. Agree with voting ID, but a State ID should suffice. However, State ID should only be allowed to nationalized citizens, born citizens, and documented immigrants.

They aren't undocumented they are illegal aliens and I completely disagree with you on that issue.

Not sure what demographic you are speaking of but how are they being alienated?

We are a Country based off of immigrants that built this Nation and spilled blood for this Nation. Immigrants have saved this Nation, aided in ending wars, and has allowed us to explore further than any human has gone. We cannot close our borders. We need to open our borders, have better policies in place, and allow more individuals to strive to become apart of America. What we don't need is policies that deny individuals those rights and utilize benefits in the US unchecked.

There are a few issues:

1. complicit main stream media that leans left and therefore shows bias in reporting towards the left. Seems most people these days want to pay more attention to what (insert latest celebrity here) is doing rather than what direction our country is headed in.

2. left has convinced (with the help of main stream media) to distort facts and make people believe Republicans hate anyone who isn't white, rich and Christian.

3. the president has little relative power but the next election will be important in shaping policy for our children and maybe grandchildren because the next president will appoint 2 supreme court justices.

4. bigger problem is congress. Why are there no term limits? President only serves 8 years max while congress is a lifelong job of building a war chest for their next reelection. Look at the number of millionaires in congress...

Of European immigrants but mostly by far their native born descendants. The mass non-European immigration post 1965 hasn't done anything in net positive for this country.

Just wondering, how many millions of people (many who want to change the culture of this nation to match the nations they are leaving for being terrible) do you think is appropriate? 1 million? 10 million? 100 million? Billion? Where do you draw the line and when you draw that line does that then ruin your story above? Why am I bad for thinking we are full now but you won't be bad when you think we are full at some point in the future?
