14. My sons (18&23) always say no real difference between the parties..this says they are right

They keep voting Democrats...but this shows there really is little effective difference between the two parties.

The only difference that I can see is the Republican party will use the filibuster to block everything good for common people.

The Dems won't use it to prevent evil to the common people.

Effectively, only things good for the rich get through ... doesn't matter who us in charge of the senate after this vote.
