I am always amazed that so many people think there is a huge difference between the Red and Blue corporate/political teams. They are so similar in policy that they are nearly indistinguishable. In favor of forever wars? check. In favor of massive wealth inequality and massive corporate mergers? check. In favor of the Patriot Act? check. Take huge donations from the oligarchs? check. Wars of regime change and staged CIA-backed coups in socialist countries? check. Endlessly increasing military budgets? check. You know I could go on like this for an hour, and it would be check, check and more check. They all agree on all major policy issues, and they pretend to fight over things like gun laws and abortion rights. I just wish everyone would pay attention.

I keep saying: when the protestors from DC and the protestors across all the major cities form the summer realize they have a common enemy, it will be a glorious revolution.

You're describing tribalism. Unfair. My tribe good, your tribe bad.
