«Scottfreitas», I fear you miss the essential point - both the major US parties are in the hands of the great corporations and their lobbyists. Contributions go mainly to those who who are deemed most likely to win - which in the US usually means the incumbent - but bets are almost always hedged, just in case (that hedge funds were invented in the US is perhaps, no accident). If you really believe that your Republican friends are less on the take than the Democrats, than you haven’t been doing your homework. But perhaps you don’t enjoy homework ?…
