Two wings of the same party. At this point because the DNC are currently so powerful they are parochially dominant (and extremely corrupt), the pendulum will swing soon and the power will shift to the RNC (who will no doubt also be extremely corrupt).

The unelected bureaucrats actually run everything in the US and at a state level. In California where I live we currently have a supermajority Dem state government, but regardless of this a handful of unelected bureaucrats from the Gray Davis era run everything in Sacramento behind the scenes.

The idea the DNC 'left wing' is pushing to restrict the local elite's power and tax them is laughable. They just have a few noisy straw men to placate voters and fill their air waves. (I'm a registered Dem FWIW. I loathe the party these days).

We need a big parochial political shake up!

> Two wings of the same party.

It is so hopelessly obvious that this is not the case at this point that I think it is fair to treat it as malicious.

One party is actively tolerating and promoting neo-Nazis. It has made its explicit goal the defeat of the other party at the expense of governing the country. It supported an armed coup attempt in order to try to overturn the legitimate election results.

The other is still often frustratingly bogged down in process and captured, in some ways by industry, but is clearly at least trying to govern the country and make things better for people.

Nonsense.
