But I wouldn't say the GOP is fractured. They seem to be united:

They're not conservative anymore
No longer in favor of free trade
No longer in favor of balanced budgets
Not interested in being the leader of the free world
Trump is their God, and anything he says or does is A-OK

To be fair, Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat.

He is a hardcore socialist/communist. Some kind of modern-day Robin Hood.

I don't think I've ever seen anything more fractured than the current United States.

The analogy that I'll use with the Democratic Party is a clothes dryer in which you try to put way many wet items of laundry in to dry. The load is far too big and the dryer struggles or breaks down trying to dry the way too heavy load.


Same thing is happening with the Democratic Party. It really needs to be broken up into 2 or 3 smaller parties because trying to manage the entire lot and keep everybody happy is impossible!

I would say the same with the Republicans. They are now dominated by evangelicals, so there is no room for a moderate in their party any longer. You are either all in for Trump or you're a RINO. That has to irk sensible people who have been pushed out of the GOP by radical fundamentalists and Trump crazies.

Of course. The Republicans are more fractured.


The Democrats aren't really fractured. It's just an attempt to create drama. They're all agreed about the basic goals: the need to remove Trump, have a viable health care plan, encourage diversity, curb gun violence, limit economic inequality, allocate major resources to stop environmental damage, etc.

I don’t like Bernie and he is a socialist, but he is not a communist. Get your facts straight.

They are not fractured at all. Look at the presidential primary debates they were having. Were they disagreeing on policy, or just playing gotcha word games or criticizing their private lives, or making wild accusations about silly stuff?

Near open borders immigration, green new deal, medicare for all, college for all, reparations, dismiss college debt, all the candidates favor their own version for all of these. Where is the split? There is none.

What the dems are fighting over is how honest some candidates are in telling the truth of the Demcorat's dive into complete socialism. they'd rather we slowly make it happen while lying to the public about their intentions. Sanders is to honest and open, he wants socialism now, or within his first term of office. the Biden and Bloomberg types would prefer a slower slide into socialism, culminating in 2040 or so.

The Democrat split is over how fast they push the nation into socialism, not if.
