Both American Democrats and Republicans generally brand themselves as "pro humanity", how true is that from your point of view?

Mostly lies.

Well, considering that republicans are
Pro-gun
Pro-war
Pro prison
always puts profits before people
and moving towards Fascism...

I'd say that democrats are more pro-humanity.

Although republicans describe themselves as "pro-life", that only applies to the issue of abortion. Once a child is born they lose interest immediately. They dont' care iof the child is fed, housed, clothed, educated or has adequate health care, as they are always trying to cut such programs.

In short, generally, if it requires them to experience empathy for others, republicans are against it, whiel democrats would be for it.

Those who say that both parties are the same havent really been paying attention to legislation that either party has been trying to pass (or block) for the past couple of decades. One thing does hold true for both. The missiles keep flying.

Corporations can grease their palms like no human can.

Most climate science deniers and people who support Trump's deregulation of the fossil fuel industry (including generation of electrical power with "clean" coal) are Republicans. Inasmuch as these policies, if left in place, would eventually lead to catastrophic global warming and mass extinction of species including our own, I would say that Republicans cannot be characterized as "pro humanity."

They can both be pro humanity, they just serve different parts of humanity. Democrats tend to be more inclusive, Republicans tend to be more exclusive. Democrats tend to be pro-diversity. Republicans tend to be anti-diversity. So, if you're on the right team, your humanity will be served.

Your statement looked more truthful but it's not.

@m0752532706 Why is his statement not truthful? If you are going to make a blanket assertion like that, you really need to explain your reasoning. I think lerlo's statement is accurate. His characterization of the two parties is accurate, therefore his conclusion is accurate.

Politicians are all the same and "pro humanity" doesn't pay squat. Republicans are better at lying and getting away with it, Democrats aren't more moral, they're just not as good at politics as Republicans.

Republicans are worse for humanity in every sense of the term. They don't care about the poor or sick, they don't care about children or future generations, they don't care about any race outside white or sex outside male. Stupid people vote for them because they're uneducated and the GOP likes it that way.

Neither are "humanist" in every sense of the word. The left left equates our lives as equal to that of other animals, the right right treats people like animals.

Republicans place wealth above humanity and this is proven by the legislation they passed.

@Morganfreeman I think if you look at legislation the Dems have passed much more for the population as a whole than any republicans.have passed.Revision of the coal mines by republicans has no concern for the people.
