That's not it. There are meaningful differences. Which party represents the oil industry? Which party represents Hollywood? It's not the same party.

The real problem is, which party represents the finance industry? Both of them. Which party is the party of small business? Neither of them. Strong antitrust enforcement? Reducing the scope of wasteful bureaucracy, as distinct from regulatory capture? It's not on the ballot.

How do we fix it? Maybe start here:
