Consider these differences between parties

One party supports providing bathroom and restroom facilities for those whose gender identity qualifies, including single-space facilities with unisex markers. The other party supports providing such facilities solely based on the sex assigned at birth ignoring the fact that 1.7 out of 1,000 births do not have a clear male or female sex identification.

One party wants to protect civil service jobs approved by Congress. The other party has been OK with drastic cuts by DOGE and/or this administration without the approval of Congress.

One party supported bipartisan legislation that would have resolved most of the southern border issues. The other party obeyed a request from its candidate to block that so that the current messy situation could be a suitable campaign issue.

One party believes in wars that are approved by Congress which did not happen with the attacks on Iran carried out by the President. The other party has refused to approve the War Powers Act to restrain the President.

One party has approved legislation that led to the doubling and tripling of health insurance premiums for millions while seriously cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits. The other party supports health insurance that is affordable if possible for all.

One party supports building an entirely unnecessary secure bunker under the proposed addition to the White House that does not have congressional approval. The other party, as reported in the Washington Post, has already built such a secretive secure bunker under the White House.

One party has been OK about pardons for those who physically attacked and harmed police officers on Jan. 6 and deportations without the approval of federal courts. The other party has opposed such pardons; and such deportations. They support deportations approved by federal courts.

Finally, one party approved appointments of individuals who were unqualified for their positions but were 100% loyal to the President though not to the Constitution. The other party has historically only appointed very qualified individuals who were loyal to the Constitution.

Without identifying the parties, who would you vote for?
