Re: So, seen the Republican Nominee debate on CNN

I would argue that there are actually two Republican parties - those concerned with money and those concerned with conservatism. The people bank-rolling the Republicans with their billions want looser government regulations and less taxes for the wealthy. They couldn't give a flying fuck about conservatism. Many are socially liberal but they're concerned with money first and foremost.

But there aren't enough of these people to actually elect a president. So, they cater to the conservative wing of Americans.

Liberals have a similar dichotomy but I feel that liberal billionaires are often socially liberal as well as financially liberal so they can be more open in their desires. Liberals have their radicals too, who can be just as passionate as conservatives, but the eternal joke is that liberals cannot organize the way conservatives do to get their politicians to fear them the way conservatives fear their constituents.

It's kind of reversed between liberal radicals & conservative radicals. Which actually makes sense, in a way - the centrist, establishment position is combining social liberalism (or at least relative social liberalism) with pro-market, low-tax economic policies (or relatively so). So on the left, the radicals mostly agree with the social liberalism but want to reject the economic platform; on the right, the radicals are fine with the economic platform but want to burn down the social liberalism.
