(55,981 posts)There are two major "sides" in the Democratic Party.
One side supports: ------------------ The other side supports:
Regulating fracking-----------------------Unregulated fracking ("a bridge to a new energy future"
Fair Trade Agreements------------------- So-called Free Trade Agreements
Rolling back the Patriot Act----------------Strengthening the Patriot Act (current Admin)
Regulating Domestic Spying---------------Giving the NSA/CIA Security State unlimited power and budget
Cutting back the wars in the M.E.---------- More troops in the M.E. (neocons agree with this side)
Ending illegal drone killing-------------------Drone killing
Raising the SS cap--------------------------Saving SS via the chained CPI
Bringing back Glass-Steagall----------------Ok with unregulated banks
Spending money on our infrastructure------Ambivalent about our infrastructure.
While both sides are agreeable on most social equality issues they are a long way apart on many other issues. I think the current candidates differ on the above mentioned issues.
I think you have a good idea which side you are on.
