| Oct 13, 2014 at 23:12 | comment | added | Publius | @DA While a lot of politics have remained relatively stable for a few decades, that is correct. The party platform is updated regularly, and furthermore, does not always represent the voting pattern of party members. | |

| Oct 13, 2014 at 21:11 | comment | added | user1530 | And I think the core principles are prone to change from election to election as the party platform is updated, correct? | |

| Oct 13, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Publius | @YannisRizos There are not, and in fact DW-Nominate scores will show you that virtually all issues are as divisive as S182 says. These are not realistically answerable questions. | |

| Oct 13, 2014 at 11:56 | comment | added | yannis | I think this is a fair question. There must be a relatively small set of core principles both parties use to define themselves. Whether either party adheres to those principles is a different question entirely. | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 21:44 | comment | added | S182 | Maybe I should have used another word, like divergent. What I am asking is about things that would never be allowed in one Party but can be accepted in the other Party. | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 21:41 | comment | added | LateralFractal | The nature of the question is such that we're just going to end up with a stream of comments and no answer. Especially with the qualifier of "real" differences. | |

| Oct 12, 2014 at 4:38 | comment | added | Publius | This question is way too broad. Anyway, S182, I recommend you read the respective party platforms. But there are a whole bunch of political issues in this country, and I don't think we can be expected to go through each one and say who sides with what, and list instances in which parties have censured their members, etc. Maybe there's a salvageable question here, but I don't know what it is. | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 3:56 | comment | added | LateralFractal | This is a harder question than it initially seems; and depends on whether a party is defined by the stereotypes of their opponents. A distinction has to be made between what positions they say they have and what positions they are actually elected on. | |
