I mentioned this awhile back and saw some people disagreeing with me so I wanted to try again to get a real discussion going. We can probably agree that the two parties are very similar, and many could argue convincingly that they are identical, but I think there are some minor differences. Feel free to correct me, this is why I'm putting this out here. I'm including various genders, races, and generations as well. There are subjective differences to pretty much everything here, but I'm saying that the majority of people in each category support this or that party.
IMO, the Democrats represent:
Wall Street
The Military Industrial Complex
The Prison Industrial Complex
Oil and natural gas
Imperialism and settler colonialism
Corporate media
Tech (most tech CEOs give most of their donations to the Democrats)
Big Pharma
Labor aristocrats in non-STEM fields (some exceptions among tech workers, but most unionized workers vote for Democrats)
Small business owners whose customers tend to be diverse (restaurant owners in touristy areas for instance)
Landlords (3/4 landlords I've known are Dems)
Hollywood
Women
BIPOC
Students
LGBTQ people
People under 40, especially those who haven't inherited property
Republicans represent:
Wall Street
The Military Industrial Complex
The Prison Industrial Complex
Oil and natural gas
Imperialism and settler colonialism
Corporate media
Tech (Elon's more obvious rightward drift has been pretty notable lately)
Big Pharma (not as much as the Democrats, recall Trump's differences with the party rank and file over vaccines)
Labor aristocrats in STEM fields
Small business owners in less diverse fields (cattle raising, fishing for instance)
Landlords, particularly those with many properties
White people, especially white men, but also plenty of white women
Cis people
People over 40, especially those who have inherited property.
The police (Democrats lick their boots, but we all know that the overwhelming majority of cops are die-hard Republicans)
Let me know if I missed anything or fucked up.
I agree with everything, but if I were to nitpick, I would say that Republicans are just as Big Pharma as Dems, due to their staunch defense of insurance companies and full privatization of healthcare.
Also the dems are for the LGBT, POC and woman in theory but don't seem to ever be prepared to do what it takes to, say, stop the GOP banning abortion.
I'd also add in they're also big on the snake oil homeopathy industry so they can have fingers in different pies
