if you wanna understand politics, you've got to ditch the harry potter bullshit. the republicans are like the scorpion clan where they're all about doing what has to be done and not caring about propriety in a way that turns into corruption 90% of the time but lets them maintain legitimacy and nationalism. the democrats are the Phoenix Clan, overly obsessed with Harmony and unwilling to enact change because they're too inwardly focused. the commies are the crab clan, desperately trying to stop everyone else getting destroyed by the Shadowlands (climate change) and they don't get any respect. I'm in the mantis clan because samurai pirates and dual-wielding Kamas are cool. There are also nagas somewhere.
