Brenden, you have a terrible understanding of the powers of the President. The President can propose and cajole, but it is both houses of Congress that must pass the laws and only then can the President sign them.
Secondly, there are plenty of things to criticize both parties about, but if you think they are indistinguishable, then you aren't looking very hard.

I challenge you to do it one day, and you can see the difference between what they say in their speeches and what they actually do policy wise. You can also cross that data with polling from the respective senators or representatives on individual policies and see how they line up. You can see quickly that they do not represent their constituents if you take the time to do it (I've done it myself).
