I mean that is the game right?
They are two heads of the same beast, moving back and forth very rapidly and calling it progress.
Meanwhile popular policies like universal healthcare[0] and marijuana legalization[1] are never addressed. ( To name a few, there are many more ).
And the reason is clear. Tying healthcare to employment keeps people from organizing effectively. If you have a family, and you are on strike, your employer cutting off your healthcare is a brutal move. Also, people get fat off the bureaucracy.
Similar for marijuana legalization. Need to keep the prisons fed with new "forced customers" so the gravy train keeps rolling.
