Depends upon whether governmental actions, pushback, policies, protections, and checks/balances serve the interests of society at large, or merely the aristocracy. But yeah, "both" the "left" and "right" are on the same team and society is being cannibalized.
And the path to getting that power is money. The candidates with the most money are the ones who sell the most influence.
As you say, it's just obvious
In reality, the populace has been sold a bill of goods. The GOP defends corporations to the death and the DNC defends big government to the death. In reality, they are both supporting and fighting different sides of the same coin as both party's laugh at them all.
You guys all have the right idea, and this is indeed a simple concept.
Why is nobody pointing this out? Most of us realize it is true, yet they continue to push their agendas to expand government, fully realizing how everything that goes through the state becomes corrupted.
It should be noted that this does not solely apply to Americans. All over the world the same bill of goods is being sold.
Mass marketed ideas require $$$$$
Now who has access to all the $$$$ I wonder?
There is no solution.
Well, there is no "solution" in the sense that you can't fix it. The more power government has, the more people will use money to influence that. But logically there is a way to minimize the damage. Minimize the size of government. The less of it there is, the less damage they can do
citizens united (decided by the right-wingers on the court) created the strongest bond between money and politicians.
the answer isn't to make government unable to function. it's getting money out of politics.
your kind of magical (e.g., false) thinking is why the right is unable to function.
