A stinker is that both parties programs are fully in line with uncritical picture created by mass media. I am not aware of a candidate publicly stating a position demonstrating serious critical thinking (outside of rigid partisan lines aimed at the opposing party). For illustration, positions on Russia:

''Russia is engaging in destabilizing actions along its borders, violating Ukraine’s sovereignty and attempting to recreate spheres of influence that undermine American interests. It is also propping up the Assad regime in Syria, which is brutally attacking its own citizens. Donald Trump would overturn more than 50 years of American foreign policy by abandoning NATO partners—countries who help us fight terrorism every day—and embracing Russian President Vladimir Putin instead. We believe in strong alliances and will deter Russian aggression, build European resilience, and protect our NATO allies. We will make it clear to Putin that we are prepared to cooperate with him when it is in our interest—as we did on reducing nuclear stockpiles, ensuring Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon, sanctioning North Korea, and resupplying our troops in Afghanistan—but we will not hesitate to stand up to Russian aggression. We will also continue to stand by the Russian people and push the government to respect the fundamental rights of its citizens. '' (source). No word that Ukrainian disaster was started by Western-backed, US-Democratic lead Maidan, now in the range from unpopular to deeply unpopular in Ukraine proper. No word that 'Russian aggression' developed gradually over dozens of years as a reaction to Western actions such as NATO expansion, and reached breakdown levels under Democratic presidency of Obama. It's like all the shit just happened itself/because of evil Putin and otherwise out of blue, and they are Democratic knights in shining armor heroically fighting that situation ---created by themselves.

Through Sanctions And Beefing Up NATO, The Trump Admin Has Held Russia Accountable For Hostile Actions (self-explanatory reading, repeating --and acting accordingly--on pretty much everything to be found in mass media, despite boss' tweets once in a while how some of it is fake, but with the only really consistent line which is in here, via sanctions etc). --Resup (talk) 07:13, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
