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.

You can repeat "smoke and mirrors" as many times as you want. Doesn't change that the two cops treated me VERY differently. Doesn't change that one cop gave me an assurance of a plea deal when the other one basically told me I'd be locked up forever. Doesn't change that one slammed my face into the table when the other got me cool glass of water. Doesn't change that one lied about my actions and assumed my guilt, and the other took the time to hear me out on my story.
