A quick perusal of the voting history of both parties destroys this ridiculous opinion.
Smoke and mirrors. Both parties represent Capital, voting is often negotiated pre-vote, including dissenters.
You can repeat "smoke and mirrors" as many times as you want. Doesn't change that the parties vote VERY differently. Doesn't change that one party got me affordable healthcare when I was young when the other one basically told me to go fuck myself. Doesn't change that one illegally attempted to overturn an election and the other didn't. Doesn't change that one stripped women of a federally protected human right while the other didn't.
There are so many examples of the parties not being the same that there's no other way to look at your opinion than as ignorant to the extreme.
