9. This is a false narrative it would be better to abandon

There is only a very slight difference in terms of wealth breakdown between the two parties, and while the GOP does have somewhat more hyper-wealthy neither party has any real meaningful advantage. If one were to ask which party represents the wealthy the correct answer would be BOTH -- which is, of course, why neither wants to do anything about it. They both have their fair share of wealthy members, both recieve donations from the same corporations, and both for the most part propose doing much the same things to address the problem.

It would be nice of those of us in the bottom 80% had some representation, but there it is.
