*Another 'Big Lie' Corporatists Like to Tell: Bipartisanship Will Lead to Progress.*

I prefer the term "plutocracy" to "corporatocracy", because the crucial thing about that bad system is that the rich wield the power. Their use of corporations to do so is a detail of methods.

Bipartisanship existed in the US when both the major parties in the US were working for the rich. To the extent that Democrats worked for working people, or disprivileged racial groups, that broke the bipartisanship.

We are seeing a dangerous outbreak of bipartisanship right now: various congresscritters claim that the Biden administration has implemented the No Surprises Act — which is meant to prevent shocking, unexpectedly high medical bills — in an excessively effective fashion. They say the law was not supposed to work so effectively.

One of them, Richard Neale, was reelected in 2020 by means of dirty tricks against his opponent.
