Why do rightwing billionaires spend hundreds of millions on elections if both parties are the same?

[suplex3000]

I am especially interested in hearing someone explain to me that both parties are the same.

But everyone please respond, is it possible this could be enlightening to some?




p.s. not talking about certain Wall Street people or corps who tend to spend on both candidates, talking about people like the Walton's and Koch's, they do NOT spend on both.

WHY do you think that is?

probably the same reason as Buffet, Gates, Bezos, Soros and the left wing billionaires spend so much on the Ds.

Buffet and Gates don't contribute much to the Democrats.

The parties are different on the ideological front where there is no difference in them is they are both concerned only with the interest of those who write them the biggest checks so they can get reelected both are concerned with getting and keeping power for themselves and their party and neither is overly concerned with the well being of the nation or the population as a whole. Both will give lip service and try to pretend they do when there is an election but their actions do not match their words.

The designated thieves, liars and oathbreakers of society, is the phrase that best describes them.

The "no difference" canard is resurrected whenever the Democrats have been in power and screwed things up. Whenever they are out of power, they are the party of "hope and change."
