I think, and I hate to say this, they are way, way better at it.

Also, I'd argue that if you sat through the last eight years and you honestly think either ruling party is suitable for uplifting the masses, socially, economically, or otherwise, that you're obstinately ignoring the world around you. (Or you don't have to work for a wage.) If you want meaningful change on a massive scale, you're powerless in America, unless you're willing to follow in the footsteps of a certain Italian gentleman who's recently gained notoriety. (Or a billionaire.)
