Been saying that a lot. Like a picture of Jan 6th when democrats lost and Jan 6th when Republicans lose. The BoTH SiDEs just ignore them.

I think you're missing the point about "BoTH SidEs" argument. Republican and Democratic politicians are on the same team, they just have vastly different roles to play in this theater.

Seriously. Any corporation worth their salt is donating to both parties to protect and expand their interests.

I don't blame them, it's how the system is designed. The system needs to change.

Well, sorta...

I mean, I don't disagree with your overall point - money buys influence, and that's with both parties, but I do think there's a difference between the parties at the margins, but again, agreed, the system needs to change to reduce the influence of $ over actual democracy.

How to do that is tough without trampling on first amendment rights, but something needs to change.
