Does this include the Green Party, American Party, America First Party, Boston Tea Party, Jefferson Republican Party, Boston Tea Party, Christian Socialists Party, Socialist Labor Party, Communist Party, and the others that I haven't heard of? I once read of a political party in the United States with the objective of making pedophilia legal. Would they be welcome?

Of course, party affiliation shouldn't prevent people from discussing the issues. For instance, I am registered as a Democrat but think the abortion issue should be revisited as current laws are far from satisfactory. That is just as an example though. I don't want to derail the topic with that. Other things I don't agree with are issues that contravene the Constitution or limit the rights in the Constitution. That is traditionally seen as a conservative view. Government size should be reduced and third-party jobs increased. We should manufacture at home instead of abroad but have less regulation in some cases to help businesses. etc...
