""it's too bad that so many folks still think of US politics as this struggle between two warring groups of citizens. As Chomsky has pointed out, there's very little difference between the two political parties; they both represent the ruling elite.""

and the ruling elite fabricate a struggle between the right and left of the populace fueled by token issues like abortion, gun rights, etc. It's called divide and conquer.

Thom Hartman put it well this week. (I'm paraphrasing) This is not really a democracy anymore, it's a plutocracy, there is only one political party with two heads. The corporations are in control, the politicians are just actors on a stage.
