Your right on the suspicions of both sides. They only thing you have to consider is which of these various acts need to be actually dealt with. The staggering levels of corruption in governments across the world these days is no longer a matter of conjecture its a matter of how bad they are. In America the blatant corruption of the Republicans is clearly worse than the Democrats but the Democrats by almost any measure are disgraceful. They just aren't as cynically ruthless as the Republicans. I'm Australian and it might not be as bad but both sides of our politics are beyond saving. I was in Canada for work a few years back and it was the same there. I meet people from Europe all the time and all I hear are similar stories. Western democracy is at a crossroads, either our political parties start recognizing that they have to do more than simply satisfy the billionaire class or we are headed for revolutions. Look at history again and again it tells us when the top 1% strip and rob the rest of all dignity and opportunity then revolutions are inevitable. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

@steffenbach3580 I have not said they are as corrupt as the Republicans (go back and read what I said), but you'd have to be blind and stupid to think they are truthful, innocent and sweet as sugar. Without any doubt the Republicans are (as recently described) "a ruthlessly cynical political actor." Mitch McConnell's view is "when we are in power we are allowed to do anything we like but when we are not in power we must interfere, obstruct and impede every aspect of the elected government." That's actually starting to permeate into every other democracy in the world. Its certainly more prevalent with right wing parties but that does not mean centrist and left wing parties don't get up to stuff as well. The staggering amount of money in politics from the billionaire class is beginning to paralyze nations. Every nation has issues - that's a simple reality, but we nobody's getting on and solving any of the major issues like water supply, energy supply, climate change or displaced people because the billionaire class have simply funded massive blocking campaigns. They are doing the same as big tobacco did for decades. If its not in their interests they start blocking campaigns funded via think tanks, political donations and the media. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
