Of course you should be able to boil down your core values to your political beliefs, but nobody holds all of the same values as one of two parties. The current political climate is encouraging people to take one side over the other while each side takes sweeping generalizations of individuals based on one or two political beliefs without having any grey area.
Fucking 8 parties at least would make sense, each one representing a good majority of common core values in America. Not 2 fucking parties. It's so senseless.
