Democrats and Republicans are as different as day and night (or donkeys and elephants).

They have different views on big issues, from education to foreign affairs. Have you ever seen a political debate in which one candidate declares that they agree with the other? You'd be hard-pressed to!

However, there are certain things that Democrats and Republicans do agree on, from their views on voters to their views on their careers.

Curious about what those things may be, Redditor Reddit807 asked:

"What's something Democrats and Republicans 100% agree on?"

Poor Opinion Of Voters

"Voters are something to be exploited and not individual human beings with rights and needs."

"no 3rd party will be allowed the means to compete"

Changing Timings

"Eliminating Daylight savings time. Passed the Senate unanimously and awaiting a House vote and Biden signature. It's not much, but we'll take a win where we can."

Money, Money, Money

– unknown1310P1

What The Problems Are

"Everyone agrees on 95% of WHAT the problems are."

"The problem is that no one wants to compromise on their solution and/or their solution is so f**ked up that compromise is impossible."

– SpaceBoJangles

Forever And Ever

"Term limits"

– SophisticatedPickle

"Neither side wants term limits for the House and Congress, but I think most Americans want them."

– Yayhoo0978

I guess anyone can find common ground, even if it's not exactly good common ground.

While it is important to know what each party believes and what they agree on, it's equally, if not more important, what you believe. After all, you're the one doing the voting!
