"Both sides are equally 'corrupt'. And because of that, each has to pander to its base. Dems are constrained in that because their base is, more or less, Socially Progressive and often that conflicts with the economic needs of their Corporate Pay Masters, eg income inequality, tax rates, environmental concerns, etc.
The GOP base of the other hand are largely Nativist, Racist, Primativist Christians who live it terror of The Future. What they want quite often is fully in line with the economic needs of their Corporate Pay Masters. At worst, their Corporate Pay Masters are indifferent to their agenda and their insanity helps to distract Progressives from serious economic issues.
Of course, The Tea Party is an astroturf created Frankenstein monster that keeps running out of control, a reminder of The Hitler Lesson; once Radicals grasp the levels of power, Big Money loses control of their actions."
