I've held a view similar to yours for a while, that the two parties are the same in many ways, more beholden to money and power than concerned about their constituents.

But I'd point out that one real difference lately is the whole stolen election thing and the related attempts to delegitimize the judicial system. That's some scary stuff. That's how democracies disappear.

And the debt ceiling crisis right now - Democrats raise the debt ceiling under Republican presidents because it’s insane to threaten to cause default.
