I dunno man, one group tried to cancel student debt and provide healthcare while the other stopped it. Sounds like they aren't quite the same.

I dunno man, one group funded a genocide and the other also funded a genocide.

"Sounds like they aren't quite the same." Is a strawman. Pointing out that both parties serve corporate interests first and foremost isn't saying they're both the same. One is clearly worse than the other. But if corporate interests conflict with voter interests they will always sell out voters. That's how you end up with your vote not being able to do anything to stop genocide. Liberal democracy only allows change if it doesn't go against what the elites want.

But that isn't true. They tried to get healthcare passed which would (and probably did) deal a big blow to healthcare. Student loan forgiveness also got stopped because a corporate interest sued since it would hurt them.

It's true that they actively tried to hurt corporations at least twice.
