They are the same where it counts, at least in 2024. Starting multi trillion dollar wars with no exit plan, passing spending bills full of insane pork, borrowing $2T per year - those are widely "bipartisan" issues. On these issues nothing changes irrespective of who gets elected. What little (in monetary terms) quibbling does occur, occurs over the issues that do not immediately affect most people. That is by design - it's performative, to delineate the in-group from the outsiders for each party, and pit people against each other. It's a very effective strategy, which people eagerly embrace, not realizing that people who devised this strategy are robbing them (and their children/grandchildren, if any) blind.
