text: Motley I'd agree with what you say in your comment as having been pretty much true for decades. But it seems like at present we have Republicans who are well organized and coordinated in their positions against taxing the wealthy, against regulations supposed to protect the planet and consumers, and against immigrants. And we have Democrats who are disorganized and ineffective.  And neither party has leaders committed to reducing the impact of big money in our politics, because they all rose to power because of big money so they all support the status quo.
