Unfortunately it doesn't matter. The government stopped representing the people a long time ago. We need to stick together. It is us vs. them, not one political ideology vs. another.

To offer some context for the other responses: it is us vs them, where "us" is the working class and "them" is the capitalist class which controls society. However, this is also a clash of political ideologies, namely those that favor the working class (socialism/communism/anarchism) vs those that favor the capitalist class (liberalism/conservatism/fascism).
