One party made a $1.5 corporate tax cut their singular issue of the current President's (hint!) first term. The other party's most significant recent accomplishment was a health care reform that reduced the number of uninsured by a few (ten-ish?) million.
There may (before 2016 have been) reasons to prefer either party. But to somehow observe the current incarnations of parties and conclude that the latter puts "big business above all else" is intellectually dishonest.
- fzeroracer 7y agoThe current incarnation of the Democratic Party resembles republicans of roughly 30 years ago, while the Republican Party has spun further right. Yes, Republicans will gladly give huge corporate tax cuts. They're in the pockets of big businesses too, make no mistake. Dems may act like they give a shit, but considering they take in just as much lobbying money from billionaires and corporations, they really don't. That's why the party can hardly agree on reforming our medical system, something which is considered profoundly popular among their voting base. That's why they're willing to give concession after concession to the Republican party until they get a completely neutered bill with everything the Republicans want.
