No, there are still a lot of corporate Dems.
Quote:They (and along with Republicans on some of these) more or less supported the financial institution bailouts, TARP, Affordable Care Act...
And furthering my point on civil liberties, both parties more or less supported the Patriot and Freedom Acts, Affordable Care Act applies here as well.
EDIT: and let me add that both parties more or less supported providing surplus military equipment to police agencies.
I think this is disingenuous, to an extent. There was support from both parties for these things, but hardly in equal measure. The ACA is the most obvious example.
"Both parties are too similar on some issues" is too frequently conflated with "both parties are the same". The latter argument is too simple to be true.
