The Democratic party is the paid opposition party. Both the DNC and GOP are corrupted by billionaire money. The difference is the DNC prevents movement to the left while pretending to be progressive only when it comes to issues that are not economic in nature, and the Republicans actively push back on the social issues while also serving the rich, except more blatantly in order to further shift the Overton Window such that serving the rich is the only “reasonable” policy belief to have in politics.
This is just a natural effect of having a capitalist system. The wealthy elite will always find a way to buy politicians, regardless of what kind of regulations are set in place to stop that kind of corruption. Those regulations will inevitably be chipped away at and its loopholes exploited until they essentially no longer exist.
The only way to actually solve the issue of corruption is to prevent it from being able to happen to begin with.
