Ugh. I'm sick of the faux "unity" trope where they try and twist the truth of the two parties being corrupt into the blatant lie that left and right, freedom vs slavery, are just trivial differences they have us arguing about. Their solution, inevitably, is to give up half or so of our freedom, in the name of "compromise" and "unity" and with a pinky swear that it's as far as they will ever go.
