Majority of Americans think the GOP is too extreme

You seem to give them blanket support for everything just because they (kinda) support a few issues you care about.

Well, I only listed the issues that impact me, personally. As for what I believe in, I do have some complaints about the Democrats, usually that they don't go far enough to the left. For example, their platform says

Democratic Party Platform Wrote:We believe that the death penalty must not be arbitrary. DNA testing should be used in all appropriate circumstances, [and] defendants should have effective assistance of counsel

I say do away with the death penalty altogether. There are some issues I simply haven't educated myself on enough to make a judgement such as fracking, the Keystone pipeline, Fair Wage Act, Violence Against Women Act or Native Americans issues. That being said, I cannot find a single thing on the Republican platform that I agree with unless it's somewhere that the Republicans are basically just rehashing what the Democrats are saying. The Democrats ain't perfect, I'll readily admit that, but I'd much rather vote for them than the American Taliban (aka the Republican party).
