I don't think they're all shills. Also, very sorry to hear about your dad.

I agree that Democrats are non-negligibly better on average than Republicans. I'd just argue they're not nearly good enough.

I'd also argue that the differences between the parties are often overstated. Example: Republicans are generally okay with the EITC.

actions speak volumes. Obama successfully raised the EITC, the GOP House kept trying to cut it and kept cutting SNAP

Paul Ryan wants to expand the EITC. But yes, the GOP does try to cut SNAP all the time, & there are clear differences, agreed.
