49. There is the vehicle and then, there's the tenor.
The two parties are very similar in what you could call the vehicle. But the tenor is entirely different.

And sure, powerful people will try to manipulate both, and they will succeed to a degree.

But the Democratic Party is not founded on authoritarianism or on exclusion (bigotry). The Corporati have made inroads into the Party, but they haven't been able to kick out the founding principles. Mostly because of mouthy people like you. :hug:
