While I understand this frustration, time and again, Democrats have overwhelmingly voted to make the lives of their constituents better, while Republicans overwhelmingly voted against.

It's not both sides, it's top and bottom. And consistently the right tries to keep you at the bottom much much more than the left.

Oh, I completely agree that the issues plaguing us are driven by class disparity, not political or ethical disagreements. And yes, there's no doubt that Team Blue trends more toward progressivism than Team Red.

They play to different demographics, but ultimately, they're just different shades of conservative and only out for themselves.

That being said, given no other choice, I'd rather have the politician who pretends to care over the one who doesn't even try to hide their contempt for common decency.

Well that's a bit much. They might throw a bone here and there sure.

It's sad most people don't believe this. Team blue isn't your friend. As you said, every once in a great while they might do something that's in your best interest. But it's more likely it's in their best interest and coincidentally also in your interest.
