I think this is a really good example of why this article is pretty damn accurate. Both true liberals and true conservatives look on their own and the opposition party as being too corporate focused because the majority of neither one represents their interest. It's on the fringes of each party that politicians that represent the interests of the people exist and those fringes are those maligned as fascists and communists, since everyone on the other side wants to pick on them and nobody on their own side wants to defend them. There's a suitable Noam Chomsky quote for this

> In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.
