While the republicans are both funded by and work towards the interests of the wealthy, democrats claim to work for the working class while still relying on the wealthy for funding - creating a conflict that keeps magnifying.
this makes me sad. it tells me according to this poll 6 in ten american voters are complete morons
Have you considered that, regardless of how dogshit the Republican party is, the Democratic party is also in fact dogshit?
The US has always been an oligarchy by design. Previously:
The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.

Way too high. A little lower and maybe a third party can take over.
