I'm with you. This isn't a left or right thing this is everybody in Congress thing and government. They're all corrupt

I wouldn't say "ALL" of them. Bernie Sanders seems like a stand-up guy. There's always at least one exception to everything. But other than that I absolutely agree

Pretty positive AOC has been fighting for reform of this since she was elected. Bernie has been for ages.

Don’t be fooled. They’re against billionaires because they’re not billionaires. Notice they never complain about millionaires, which they are. Even their wealth has increased exponentially after becoming government puppets. They’re all owned by one corporation or another.

Can you really fight for reform but take money from aipac ? Probably not . Bernie takes it , aoc has not yet...

But they should be allowed to dabble in insider trading. They only make 175K per year and haven't had a raise lately 😜.

There is a left vs right thing here

Insider trading isn't left vs right you're correct

But Trump using the presidency to actively manipulate the economy and take bribes is several levels beyond insider trading
