What are your thoughts and feelings on the question the Washington Post asked....Are Democrats and Republicans talking about the same country?

Asked by Cruiser (40449points) September 19th, 2015

Quote from the article….
“To the Democratic candidates, the 2016 presidential campaign is about shrinking the gap between rich and poor; combating climate change; and expanding voting rights, gay rights and workplace equality for women.

To listen to the Republican candidates is to hear an entirely different campaign — one that centers on defeating Islamic State terrorists, deterring a nuclear Iran, restricting abortion, and debating whether to deport illegal immigrants and construct a wall to keep them out.

At a political moment of pitched voter anxiety, candidates in both parties talk in dark, sometimes apocalyptic tones — but about different issues, as if they’re addressing two different countries.”

Time to take the podium and express your views on which country do you live in that reflects your concerns the most.
