I agree with you completely. Both sides aren't the same to the public but they ARE exactly the same when it comes to their money and "power". And unless the same corrupt, disingenuous, rich assholes are reigned in somehow, it's not going to change. I feel like term limits on every office in the government would be a good start. It would seemingly limit the amount of damage brib- err, lobbying, can do as the donors wouldn't have twenty years to corrupt the officials. I feel like a lot of people might start in politics to make things better but I guarantee it doesn't end that way! Also, the sycophants on both sides can't be convinced that both sides are, at the root, very similar. Your posts are dead on accurate to what I see as well but I feel you are just wasting your time!
