As absurd as it sounds, the reason I support the democrats is because they are, for lack of a better word, the party of "peace". They have not sent troops overseas to fight on foriegn soil since 1942.
While the navy, the air force, and the cia all continue to conduct operations while the democrats are in power, the democrats do not send the US army or the US marine core to fight overseas and die in pointless wars, and make every effort to end such wars when they are started by republicans. I know it may sound like a fairly silly distinction, because there are many places such as Syria and Libya which the US conducts airstrikes and intelligence operations, but the democrats do not send "boots on the ground".
I guess its really the best we can hope for in this day in age.
