It's common knowledge that the Democrats and Republicans switched platforms. It occurred during the Great Depression and finalized the switch during the Civil Rights movement. Current day Democrats are not "racial Marxists", whatever the hell that means. Current Democrats believe in equality over the rights of the individual, while Republicans believe that their individual freedoms are more important than ensuring equal opportunity. The ones concerned with helping those in poverty (through social safety nets and equitable access to higher education) are Democrats.

If you want to argue which way is better for the country/world, you absolutely can, but it doesn't help anyone or illustrate your point when you make shit up.
