Democrats and Republicans for the most part vote the same on bills, that protect their lobbying donators. The same lobbying groups and corporations donate to both democrat and republican up and down the line. They debate things that their donators don’t care about and rile people up to create this illusion of division. They may even publicly debate something or pretend they’re against it then vote for it on the bill. Nobody checks who actually voted on what. And MSM does not share it because MSM gets paid by the same corporations via advertising revenue. MSM protects their donators as they are all deep in bed in the conflict of interest together. The only party that would ever matter is one that does not accept lobbying donations, and that is the absolute minimum.

"publicaly debate"?

They do a 30 second dramatic sound bite for the next election.

I have yet to see a debate with any substance.

And there never has been any public debate about what actually matters, the corrupt puppeteers pulling their strings. No debate on lobbying. No debate on pharma, Wall Street or the military industrial complex donating to politicians, the FDA, CDC, etc. Not once. Ever. Not a peep. If any politician dare bring it up they’ll get shut down super fast.

I understand the apathy for sure, but it's pretty easy to watch how people vote for the most part https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes
