Lobbyists ate my brain
Republicans and Democrats essentially vote the same way, and periodically alternate control of branches of the government with each other. So any minor differences between the two parties are eliminated by this switching back and forth-the net effect over time is the promotion,generally, of just one viewpoint and policy, which is overwhelmingly pro-corporate,pro-war, anti-worker, anti-poor(anti-majority),and anti-environment.
In debates, the Dems are reduced to PC rhetoric, and are sucessfully depicted as tax and spend 'liberals' but are really intentional foils for the Republicans, allowing them to secure ever greater rights and loot for their corporate pay masters, at the expense of the people/nation. Political correctness works so well to discredit an entire major party and so efficiently assists mega corporations in their pursuit of their nefarious agenda that PC MUST have been created in a corporate board room somewhere, in the mid-80's , and NOT on some college campus.We have one entrenched institutional establishment party with two right wings... the same major banks finance both the Democrats and the Republicans.
Most news media is overwhelmingly pro corporate, anti-worker, and 'conservative.' The 'man in the street' is often portrayed in the worst possible light, while the International Cartels and the governments that they own get scant negative coverage...even once progressive magazines like Rolling Stone and The Village Voice are now owned by agents of the Bush- Cheney regime. The illusion of 'liberal media' is created when 'Hobsons choices' are presented to the public- two views are presented on an issue, both are bad but one is deliberately weaker (PC?) than the other, and often the entire 'issue' is inconsequential anyway (smokers vs. non-smokers, or some aspect of some petty criminal meladrama, etc.).
The controlled left, the pseudo-liberals, do a very good job protecting the financial elites.
Basically,the Democrats are the Republicans fall- back position.
Whats needed is a broad based authentic Labor party.
