Party-ideology can be problematic

Party-ideology can be problematic and that makes Party loyalty dangerous. The particular name of any Party does not necessarily mean that Party adheres to the principles implied by the name. For example; "Democratic Party" does not mean all its ideological positions are democratic. "Republican Party" does not mean all its ideological positions are democratic or republic oriented. Certainly it can be expected that Democrats adhere to democratic principles and Republicans to democratic principles as well as towards the States Rights ideology. But, the old argument of Central power versus State power was compromised long ago. We should not be continuing that argument. Party loyalty in that direction can only be destructive. Much more serious is the issue conflating economic issues, which should be separate, with political issues. Economic principles are entirely separate from political principles. Political principles deal with a Triadic form of government that's supported by the Bottom or the People. In other words , its a People government. The People are the sole source of power in a democratic government structure. Although power is exercised from the Top to the Bottom of government, its the People at the bottom who have granted that power. But, its becoming clear that the medium of exchange(money) has influenced political decisions, which should be based on democratic principles. The conflating of economics with democracy can be seen clearly in the emphasis on the so-called 1% and a Plutocracy. Money has become a political issue that should not be involved in politics. Money belongs in the economy not in government. Of course, Government also needs money hence, taxation, minimum wages, laws, even calling corporations "persons", but the underlying political principles of democracy (Freedom and Equality of the individual) is the glue that holds the Bottom together. Money does not hold the Bottom of government together. The 1% argument doesn't even hold together the 1%. The 'inner' bickering within the 1% will never end. Why?, because the motor of economics is profits and greed. The motor of democracy is Freedom and Equality.
