There are a few differences between the Democrats and Republicans (the parties themselves, I mean, not the individual people in them), but they are rather akin to the differences between two turds that are all wrapped up in nice Christmas packaging with cheery decorations. One has a blue ribbon around it. The other has a red ribbon around it.

Remove the ribbons and the wrapping, and you will see that it's almost impossible to detect any difference worth mentioning.

As for going back to the same old, same old...that usually begins very soon after the excitement of election night. There is a ruling $ySStem that controls both those parties. It has no name. Its masters do not run for office and most people don't even know who they are. It holds presidential elections to make you imagine that you have a choice and to keep your attention focused on (yet) a(nother) presidential figurehead rather than on reality.
