Most American voters are automatic. That is, they always vote Republican. Or they always vote Democratic. They don't have to think about it. I suspect that the results of automatic voting are as positive or negative, on the whole, as the results of careful voting by independents who take the time to read and think for themselves.
Automatic support for a party is a time-saving shortcut.
Our two major political parties have different roles, of course. The Republican party of today exists to transfer money from poor people to the 1%. It uses racism and sexism to accomplish that. The Democratic voters of today are a composite of outsiders. The leadership is there to provide jobs for itself and maybe attempt to improve the lot of the middle class a bit if it's no trouble. So I vote--as an independent--for Democrats.
