I have a child and own a home, and am a member of the lost generation. Fuck the Republican Party and any conservative who believes their selfish bullshit should outweigh the greater good of others.

Republicans are fascists, not conservatives.

Democrats are the conservative party.

I agree about Republicans. I don't agree about Democrats. Some, of course, are conservative, as they historically always have been. But a good portion are quite liberal.

There are two kinds of Democrats: conservatives and hostages

As a whole, the Dems are pretty center of the aisle, because America as a whole is fairly conservative compared to Europe (despite 60% of the population being more liberal than the government at most times). Europeans generally consider the Dems in the US a conservative party, and corporate Dems are definitely closer to the right than to the left. The other issue besides the general conservative leaning in the country though is that there's about 50 other groups of various left leaning shades that would be their own separate parties in Europe but are bunched in with the corporate Dems and therefore have little say in the party platform.
