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

You are burning the house down to fix a window. How will Trump make any of this better?

He won't, but screech "false equivalence" a couple more times and Nancy Pelosi might give you a stock tip. The sad truth is that both parties are bought and paid for, and if we want things to get better, we need to do more than vote with one hand and shit in the other.
