Some fine equal opportunity political party bashing: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/in-defense-of-dissenters/
An excerpt . . .
To say that our political system is broken is the most severe of understatements. Two political parties, which are informed by the same ideology of corporate fascism, are colluding to monopolize access (https://www.debates.org/index.php?page=overview) and to exclude anyone who does not join their cartel. They contrast at the margins, but when it comes to the core issues of economic and foreign policies, both parties are different mainly in brand. Democrats use concern and paternalism, while Republicans turn to values and piety, to accomplish the same objectives: to enrich their donors and enhance their own fortunes.
