Both parties are almost completely owned by special interests at this point (in many cases by the same special interests!), though there are a few "exceptions that prove the rule" on either side of the aisle.
It makes me laugh when someone with ideological allegiance to one side or the other points out how corrupt the "other guys" are and either disingenuously doesn't mention or just plain stupidly doesn't notice the same problem for those on their "side".
This is a big part of the reason I support MayOne (https://mayone.us). The odds are stacked against them, but meaningful and broad campaign finance reform is the only thing that is going to fix the now incredibly broken US government and give non-corporations any meaningful voice in future legislation, and I have yet to see any better plan on how to make it happen.
