This pretty much describes my worst fears about political leaders in the US. They are absolutely beholden to those who finance their campaigns and prop up their respective national committees. I will and won't "both sides" this, from time to time, because both major parties have serious corruption, but it seems to have become way worse on one side than the other recently.

It's interesting because any two random people might not agree on which side is "worse" in this regard. People often think they're immune to the tactics and propaganda of the other side, but they'll frequently fail to see the same or very similar stuff happening on their own side, or they'll downplay it because it doesn't affect them so much personally.
