The Two-Party Illusion: One Party, Two Brands

Republicans and Democrats. Red and Blue. Two sides of the same coin.

On the surface, they seem different. One talks about God and guns, the other talks about social justice and climate. But look at what they actually do when they're in power.

Both expand the surveillance state. Both start wars. Both bail out banks. Both take money from the same corporate donors. Both protect the interests of the wealthy elite while pretending to fight for the working class.

The issues they argue about—culture war stuff, mostly—are designed to keep us divided. While we're fighting about bathrooms and pronouns, the same policies that hurt all of us keep getting passed.

It's not left vs right. It's the few vs the many. And both parties represent the few.
