The vote orchestrated by a group of far-right lawmakers leaves the House without leadership. The speaker was unable to manage a bitter power struggle within the Republican Party.
I would add that it depends on context and what specifically the democrats and republicans are being compared on.
There is a subgroup of each party that really is effectively the same in that they are non-ideological and only want to maintain the status quo, putting up the appearance of being at odds while actually working together to protect the corporate money hose.
It’s this group that makes “both sides” so effective as rhetoric because, while Democrats do genuinely represent a direction with some glimmer of hope and they do have people who are genuinely concerned with improving government, it only takes a few instances of these “bipartisan” corporate middlemen to keep fueling the bothsides narrative.
