The correct take isn't that both parties are the same -- the correct take is that both parties are shitty capitalist parties, but Republicans are obviously worse. You only get to "both parties are the same" if you ignore a bunch of stuff and oversimplify a bunch more. For instance:
LBJ the warmonger, JFK was the last one who tried to change anything and he got assassinated for it.
LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and Medicare. There's plenty to criticize him over (and plenty to criticize about those bills), but it's nonsensical to dismiss all that as not even trying to change things.
He escalated the war in Vietnam to unprecedented levels. Congress passes bills, not the President. We have recordings of LBJ's racist rants where he laughs that he'll have those ******* voting Democrat for the next 100 years.

The correct take is that there is just one party, and kayfabe. Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper aren't foes. They both work for Vince McMahon.
