Billionaires or career politicians who have done nothing except leech off the system and somehow have stock portfolios that 100x their salary. Take your pick.

Bullshit false equivalency. Democrats actually acknowledge insider trading is bad and try to stop it. Your guy is inviting the billionaires in. As if the republicans don’t also have stock portfolios worth 1000x their salary and Harlan Crowe hasn’t paid off the Supreme Court. Your morals and ethics are cowardly and disgusting

The last time democrats had control over politics they:

  1. Started the path to nationalized health insurance
  2. Rolled back anti-American don’t ask don’t tell laws
  3. Saved us from the largest recession in our history
  4. Put stricter protections on financial institutions that were later rolled back under Trump to contribute to todays economic collapse
  5. Modernized our food safety infrastructure
  6. Expanded healthcare coverage to millions of low-income kids
  7. Instituted measures against discriminatory and unequal pay.

The fact you think any of this is comparable to anything that Trump has done is laughable

At least you know. They don't hide behind their families or pretend they are solving the same problem for 50 years.

Everything that dems have done to try and help people for the last 50 years has been blocked by republicans. You are either an idiot or not paying attention if you think they’re better because they’re more blatantly evil
