Both parties are capitalist, yes. But the parties do not approach capitalism and more importantly the role of government in capitalism the same.

So if you are a hard core communist or socialist, yes the parties are both capitalist and your ideological lens prevents you from differentiating, but for the vast majority of American's, one party is far superior to their everyday lives in meaningful ways than the other. As a reminder, the Democrat's Child Tax Credit program cut child poverty nearly in half after decades of stagnation and regression. No tax cut ever did anything like that for America.

As a reminder, the Democrat's themselves let that expire and threw all of those children back into poverty.

As a reminder 47 Democrats and 2 Independents supported extending it, 50 Republicans and 1 Democrat didn't.

Have you ever stopped and considered how suspect those numbers are?

Have you ever considerer that maybe, just maybe, it’s a stage to keep you in line? “Look, the people I support supported it but the evil bad Republicans didn’t. I need to fight harder to get the Dems, the good guys, in office.”

You fight harder and what happens? Well the “good guys” somehow stay magically balanced with the bad guys! But you fought your hardest and the system is “honest”, this is what always happens…may as well just keep working for the system without revolt.

You folks just see conspiracy everywhere. How about Joe Manchin is just not a good person and there are a lot of not good people in Congress and most of them have an R next to their name, but some have a D.

I promise you, the DNC isn't in the background somewhere coordinating how to keep people in poverty.

Everywhere? This is a specific and actual conspiracy occurring. Sort of like PRISM with the NSA. Or Hillary Clinton conspiring with the DNC to prevent Bernie Sanders from being the nominee.

Hate to break it to you, but humans in leadership have a LONG history of conspiring against their people. And when each state has a population bigger than Rome, are you really so naive to think that Roman politics has magically ceased?

There ARE conspiracies among our politicians — they are conspiring to keep you poor and themselves & their interests rich.
