    If you think there’s a difference between the flavour of billionaire Wall Street in bed with big business party you’re not looking at the bigger picture.

    Both are marching to the same destination. One may want to be racist and sexist on the way, but the end result is neo-feudalism.

      if you don’t think republicans are in bed with big business to an even bigger degree you are not paying attention.

        I think they’re in bed the same amount, I think they run in the same circles, and have the same owners/donators/lobbyists.

        You’re not paying attention, it’s now almost a century of big business running the show. Things are not materially improving for citizens. The only winners regardless of which party is in power is business.

          Trump’s entire economic policy was designed by the Supply Side Economics brain trust.

          Things are not materially improving for citizens.

          Thanks a lot to presidents like Reagan and Trump, and the GOP hijacking the working class right with grievance politics. If we got the working class right to actually vote in their interest again a lot would change.
