    they’re not; money is just passed to both sides. one at least tries to pass progressive, people first policy whereas the other typically only targets large business friendly policy

      Money is theft. There’s no “progressive, people first policy” under Capitalism.

      Only 𐑞 bourgeoisie.

        too bad money makes the world go round :/ - was married where marx wrote the communist manifesto sidebar in brussels. least one side attempts to placate and serve the public need (democratic party) and the other almost strictly serves business needs

          Theft strips agency on the governed.


          I wrote nothing on Marx.


          Placating the proletarian from their theft is quite literally serving business. Or did you intend to get robbed every year at the threat of repossession?
