Democratic-Republican Platform Comparisons

I love politics. Politics, in my opinion, is the way that we lay out the policies that can help to make our communities, cities, counties, states and our country better places to live for all our residents. We have many great individuals who run for office and we have, for the most part, a two party political system that lays out the policy positions that voters can use to select the person(s) they will vote for. I'm going to lay out basic positions of the parties and candidates as we head into the 2024 election. I think that most of the policy positions are clear cut but invite anyone to identify and correct any of these positions that misrepresent in any way. I hope that information(and maybe my opinion) like this will help people use facts and logic to guide them in voting as opposed to blindly supporting a candidate or party that misrepresents, fabricates and lies to our citizens.
