Surely this proves they're all equally bad.
We should end blind loyalty to one or the other party. There is no longer any relevance to this. It all seems to be driven by selfish interest groups anyway. Democracy is meaningless when groups with enormous amounts of money drown the protests of the reasonable non-partisan thinker. People in power need to adapt to this unbalanced situation. Blame the people, not the politicians. We need politicians who will stand up to the people when the people are wrong. The problem with democracy is, it doesn't allow this. There is no easy answer though. Wisdom doesn't get a look-in in politics.
