Claiming politicans hate the vast majority of people is so insane I can't believe I'm seeing it here.

Political parties aren't people so assigning feelings to them is of questionable value, but no more so than calling someone insane for doing so.

The underlying fact is that the Republican and Democratic Party are both constituted to represent their donors and that certain parties (rich individuals being the largest such party) enjoy the benefit of giving bi-partisan patronage.

Calling an argument “insane” isn’t a constructive comment.

Perhaps you could explain why you don’t think that’s a reasonable interpretation..?

Claiming otherwise is being blindfolded. When I look at American politics, I can't see any justification other than the desire to help 1% and the apathy towards people who live paycheck-to-paycheck (or worse). We saw it in 70s, 2008, COVID, Student Loan Forgiveness cancellation, increasing rent/housing costs, and now seeing it, and will always see it. "Hate" is a strong word of course but the spirit is absolutely true.

It probably is an exaggeration, and assigning emotion is futile and counterproductive; however, I think it's far less contentious to note that, however they might actually personally feel, both parties regularly vote for laws and actions that harm the vast majority of people i.e. the non-rich.

Thanks for calling me insane.
