The Democrats at least act like they care about the people in the country whereas the Republicans basically admit they love the rich and businesses.
No, Democrats want you to be indebted to them for everything. I will pass, thanks.
You need to stop consuming mass media propaganda about what the parties are. The Republican and Democratic parties are nearly identical, issue-wise. Neither party "thinks you're an adult", this is trite mass consumption bullshit designed to make you vote based on identity politics and emotions rather than on actual issues. It's pure manipulation.
I have been doing some reading on issues like overpopulation and climate change recently and I'm pretty convinced we are totally and completely fucked. There is no way we will be able to react on the scale necessary in time to alter our ways. Things will keep getting worse and worse, I think the world will spiral into economic hell, overpopulation will strain our resources and various other factors will lead to the deterioration of democracy and the first world society. I'm sure several people reading this will have similar views on the future
The notion of "overpopulation" is very silly, population density in the world is generally very low. Also, the world has been in "economic hell" (a really hyperbolic term) forever, there are ongoing campaigns of genocide, massive poverty, famines etc. In fact, most of these things are currently of a smaller scale than at any other point in human history. There has never been a more secure, safe time to be a human, on balance. Doomsaying doesn't really serve much purpose.
Major American political parties are terrible at governing, undemocratic, and corrupt, and the Republicans are the worst of the worst, like everything awful about American politics in crystal form. Being able to strongly identify with that political party is a pretty huge red flag.
By that logic, people with purple hair or eyes, which are a pretty common thing in a most fantasy works, aren't really human either. It's fantasy, it's humans can have whatever traits the creators want.
It somewhat plays into tedious and lazy sexist stereotypes, so sure. It's advertising, it's designed to appeal to your lowest common denominator caveman sensibilities, not enlighten you.
Because a 40 dollar title update of a very popular and vital competitive game is not even slightly in the same league as the option to play dress-up with your dopey in-game avatar, or a 5 dollar mission for a single player game.
Also, it Capcom's title updates back in the day weren't so onerous because they were arcade cabinets, the players didn't have to pay a dime. Capcom is just a company completely out of touch, run by aging businessmen unwilling to take any risks, and willing to kill the golden goose if it means short-term returns.
