I got the joke. One pretends they are pro-America while the other one wants to spend other people's money. There is very little difference between the two parties.

They both try to use the government for their own personal agenda. They both tend to make non issues into a major one, perhaps to give them something to do or distract people from some secret, classified information......Democrats and same sex marriage and The Republicans including Caitlyn Jenner who made transgender a thing and now making a big deal over what bathroom people are using.

There is no difference between the Repub or Dem party, they are both power hungry machines that are slaves to the money funders manipulating them. There is a bit difference between Repub and Dem voters with Repubs wanting an environment to allow business to make money which is good for everyone and Dem voters who want government to equalize results.

No difference at the end of the day, the dem's give the illusion of being for the little guy and the Repugs give the illusion of religious moral superiority, when they're not getting into various sex scandals of course.

Show me an example of Republicans trying to expand rights to more Americans, and I'll believe that the two parties are two sides of the same coin. Republicans have spent more time expanding rights for corporations than they have for Americans.

Democrats are just securing votes.

So you're saying that certain people should be voting for the party that actively tries to strip them of their rights? Democrats secure those votes BECAUSE they fight for those people.

Dems tax and spend, Republicans borrow and spend. There is a large difference on civil rights issues with , IMO, Dems more likely getting it right when property rights is not a factor (e.g. gay marriage) and Repubs more likely getting it right when property rights is a factor (e.g. protected classes).

I got a 401K, do you? I work for a corporation. Do you? Individuals, many of them Americans, own shares and work for corporations.

No difference.
They are both using fear and each other to keep the donations rolling in.
They know that Americans like team sports and so that's what they give us.
But in reality, behind closed doors, the politicians are all on the same team and it doesn't matter if they are Republican or Democrat.
