If we take that as true, then we can ignore that aspect when we make our choice.

While both parties are funded by corporate interests, they still are far enough apart on policy and personality for the choice to have an impact.

Corporates are mostly caring about tax policy and industry regulation. They (mostly) have neutral stances on things like Healthcare, equality, racism, immigration, abortion and so on.
