In passing, I'm actually hearing quite a few people expressing their disgust with both parties these days, especially the two "choices" we have for POTUS, and their intention to vote for any remotely viable third party.
The way you wrote it made it read like the DEGREE of malice in each party is identical in BOTH political parties.

And that is simply not true.

The Republicans by ANY reasonble measure in degree are FAR MORE awash in blatant and secret greed corruption and bribery than the Democrats, when you count their sheer numbers and the amount of money they take and how totally they are controlled by big business through their lobbyists.

that is the flaw in your analysis (which is essentially true) that was being pointed out to you.
