Could the Democrats become the new Libertarians?

[camacazio]

Their policy is very similar anyway. Most economic policies and political policies are almost dead on the same, and only a few key social (assisted suicide, abortion, etc) and economic policies (taxes, welfare) differ. It's almost completely the same otherwise.

You're right, though: even though in my opinion the distinction is already slim, it's getting even harder to see the difference. This is part of why I don't like political parties altogether: they don't really help anything, or push forward all that different views, just create two groups of people competing for power.
