Both parties are equally guilty of being more worried about holding on to the reigns of power than serving the public.

No, I reject that equivalency.

One party is suppressing the vote and constantly sabotaging the workings of the government to retain power.

Those aren't the equivalencies I'm asserting. My position is that members of both parties expend far too much energy working on re-election fundraising versus working for the people. That's the equivalency I'm asserting.

Both parties, then, are elected (generally. Republicans tend to depend on the electoral college to win).

Both parties eat food.

Both parties drink water.

What's the point of this equivalency? I identify a moved goalpost. Your initial post was "both parties are equal." We are far from there, down here.
