Neither are corporations. Both will abuse you. The difference between the two is that you have at least a chance of altering how government works, but you have no chance with a corporation.

They both have highly imperfect avenues with which we can exert influence, but one has more power to compel you to support them legally “or else”.

I think that they both have approximately equal power to do that.
