Do politicians know dat da 2 party system's a sham

I'm wondering about something.

Many conspiracy researchers say that the 2 party political system in most countries is a sham and illusion of democracy created by the elite, and that in reality, both parties represent the same elite corporate interests, which is why no matter what party is in power, government policy stays the same. The differences between them are all a public show, using social wedge issues to project an illusion of a genuine debate between them.

This is how the Democrats and Republicans work, they say.

Now, if that's true, then are all the politicians in the Senate, Congress, and everyone in public office in on this conspiracy? I mean, do they all know that the 2 party system is a sham and illusion? Or do they genuinely believe that a free open debate and true democracy is going on between both parties? How can that many people, such as everyone in the House of Representatives, be in on it?

How does it work? Are all politicians in on it? Or are they victims of the sham too?
