Yes, both the Democratic Party and the Republicans receive money from corporate interest groups, but while the Democrats receive pennies for their services, the GOP receives a BULLION.
Our political system is corrupt, it's corrupted by both vast sums of corporate dollars and an uninformed, disaffected and highly screened electorate.
One side fights for voter rights, while the other side fights against it.
One side is inclusive, while the other side is restrictive.
One side stands for equality, while the other side stands firmly against it.
One side works for the working poor, while the other side remains only on the side of the oligarchs.
One side looks like modern America, while the other side look like a 1950's sitcom.
One side sounds sane, while the other side have lost their gawd damn minds.
Sure, we have our fair share of problems with the Democrats, but I sure as fuck would never want to be on the side of the Republicans.
