WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.
The Dems and GOP have similar business models: trade policy and legislation for campaign donations, and deliver tribalism to voters.
That’s not to say the two parties are the same - they differ significantly. One party is funded by the truly psychopathic billionaires, and the other party is funded by the usual greedy bastard billionaires. Chalk and cheese, as the British say.
Eh that’s only one facet of politics though. Economically yeah, they’re similar, but Democrats are still vastly preferable since they don’t want to cut taxes for the rich and cut government programs for the poor.
When it comes to social issues, it’s night and day. Social issues aren’t everything, but it’s where Republicans are the most cruel.
