Agreed. But the point they're making (wittingly or unwittingly) isn't "they're both directly and indirectly responsible for the rise of the surveillance state."
The fundamental point is: "Both parties are the same because of this one issue." And that position is reductive to the point of being indistinguishable from the positions of centrists and conservatives, both of which often prefer easy-to-digest, broad-stroke politics over wrestling with the nuances.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth and talking down to me. No, the point I'm making is that both parties serve the same masters. Look at who Meta/Palantir/Google/Microsoft donate to, do you think they're wasting their money when they give millions and millions to both parties?

>Both parties are the same because of this one issue. No one said they were, but you're disappointed that they aren't.
