    Didn’t say they were the same, I said that we have no control over what they do in our names

    Rather, the parties and their owners control us as they have for generations, by owning the newsmedia and steering public opinion as they see fit.

      I said that we have no control over what the parties do.

      One party can be influenced and there is abundant proof of that. The other cannot.

        Yeah, that’s the problem. The Republicans are being influenced by rich assholes and Democrats are too busy blaming the voters for their failure to listen to them.
