The corporate Dems and Republicans are united on this. All the wedge issues are just a convenient way to keep us focused on and attacking each other instead of noticing that they are working together to build a corporate-controlled, authoritarian state.
Yes, there are differences between the parties...by design. They are used continually to push us into voting for the lesser of two evils. It is so easy to get people to vote for corporatism when you own both parties and can make the other one look even worse. People need to shake the delusion that simply voting for Democrats is doing a damned thing to reverse the path we are on. At the most, it keeps a train already barreling toward corporate fascism from speeding up.
People need to wake the hell up and face reality, because until you acknowledge a problem, you cannot fix it. BOTH parties are corrupted. Change is not going to come from inside this purchased system. Voting Democratic is no longer enough. We need to Occupy Now, because they are rushing structures into place to prevent us from occupying later.
