politicians are the one percent, they control the purse strings. the very rich are the only people of means who can pay them to look away.
politicians then use this wealth to divide the rest of the country to insure their continuance in power. they are loyal to their party before the people and it is that stranglehold that needs to be broken to bring accountability back.
- azemetre 9y agoI don't know what country you're from but there clearly seems to be two distinct political parties in the US, one that supports consumers and the other that supports corporations. Trying to argue that the DNC and GOP are the same is complete lunacy.
- buttcoinslol 9y agoThe DNC isn't nearly as innocent as you claim. The ultimate goal is power, the rhetoric and ideas are slightly different but corporations and the rich benefit the most. disclaimer: I voted straight D in the last 4 elections
- mc32 9y agoIf you don't think the Rs and Ds are different sides of the same coin, just look at the nevertrumpers and "deep staters", career appointees who carry on regardless of who's in power. This uniparty allows fringes of either side some pet causes, but at the heart of it, both parties share the same values. That's not all that bad either, it guarantees continuity and limited disruption --but we need to understand that's how it works and its consequent limitations. The only non unipartarians the last 25 years have been Perot, perhaps Sanders and Trump. Prior to that JFK.
