      I would say that ultimately they don’t matter at all because both parties represent the interests of capital and provide a superficial illusion of choice for the hoi polloi.

        It has a very small effect in a handful of states with some local policy changes. I think it has no effect federally

          Basically, the job of the dem party is to act as sort of a pressure release valve to prevent people from organizing in effective ways.
