Mostly agree, though it's probably fairer to say that both republicans and democrats are corrupt, they just get payed by different interest groups. And this mostly applies to the vast majority of political parties in most democracies on Earth, unfortunately.

And it's still fairer to say not that party X and party Y are both corrupt but that both are corruptible. Rather than say everyone is bad, say everyone has the potential to be bad. Then you can react to individual instances of badness and hope to improve things. If you say goodness is impossible you are optimizing for badness.
