This isn’t “both sides” stuff. We, the constituents, seem to have very little input on what values our parties represent anymore. We just get to pick the one we like best. This has gotten worse in my lifetime, esp after Citizen’s United.

I’m voting against the face eating leopard party every time. I’m not voting for someone. I would like very much to be voting for someone instead of against someone.

It’s pretty pervasive and there’s plenty of tacit and overt support for Republicans here.

Sure, there are third parties. It just that people associate that with wasted votes.

Are both parties not driven by their largest donors?

As always Trump is worse but the Democrats hands are by no means clean.
