basically its a uniparty, justa coalition of the 2 sides, more often than not they pass things benefit themselves and the donors more than the actual voters. most of the time its backdoor deals between the 2 parties and the donors, that doesnt make news, because msm will not let it happen. GOP gets to enact thier plan in exchange for dems enacting some of thiers.

It's a power sharing agreement.

Makes sense if you can limit who can run in the party there is zero threat to you from the general population. I think it is stranger that people think the voters in such a system have real power.

the culture war distractions are the only polarizing item in the 2 parties to keep them divided with a little help from grifters back by my krasnovs handlers., its basically distraction, to the backdoor deals. the tax cuts almost never get repealed when the D get into power, or through reconciliation because DInos are still there.
