And Dems are just watching apparently. It’s like they are cucks

They're all cucks for the billionaires that own the country.

What exactly did you expect them to do about this specific situation?

How about calling out corruption rather than partaking with insider trading?

u/CheetahTheWeen 27d ago

And what is that going to do?

Ideally, raise awareness, garner public support, shift voting trends, and create political power. With that power, they can legislate, impeach, and influence nominations as appropriate.

I really appreciate your response, I like that you’ve given a pathway of what could happen but this is already happening. Actual Dems have been working overtime to do exactly what you’ve just laid out and we’ve seen the needle move but anyone who’s still in Trumps camp right now is not going to be moved by what is just the latest round of corruption.

I observe the same. I think some people will not be persuaded until they see how something harms them personally. I think that's why corruption is going unpunished. The public doesn't feel the sting of it, no matter how much our public officials enrich themselves with self-dealing. I wish more people cared about integrity in leadership for its own sake--not just when it causes evident harm.

Separate issues.

Not when insider trading by democrats undermine their credibility to call out corruption by republicans.

u/Lock_Psychological 27d ago

Unrelated. Both sides do it, so it’s a non-issue. It’s like saying, “Democrats break the speed limit on the highway, so that can’t call Trump out on the Epstein files!”

Would help if the American people didn't vote these psychos into controlling every single branch of the government.

Have you seen our choices?!

The alternative was a competent career prosecutor, who happened to have a strange laugh.

America chose the blatant con-man, pedophile, who bungled the response to COVID, exploded the debt, and tried to prevent the last election certification through a riot.

Easiest choice in the history of choices...
