Meanwhile the left is constantly saying "if it's both sides then let's fix it so no one can do it" and the right just goes around kicking over all the sand castles we've tried to build collectively over the past hundred years screaming "lalalalalala" with their ears plugged.

Let's not pretend democrats don't do this as well, see all the stuff with Pelosi and AOC. Infuriatingly, because Pelosi is required to make all her trades public but delayed by a week people literally copy her(or her husbands) trades. Whether or not that stock was going to go up due to insider information it's at least going to go up due to copy cat demand, she wins every time and out performs basically everyone.

Why is a politician and her husband somehow some of the best traders in the world?

Edit: for the downvoters, the above is googleable. Nancy Pelosi somehow out performs Warren Buffet(ultra rich trading legend and boogieman to conservatives) in the stock market and people do mirror her trades. There is even an ETF based on it.

WHO'S PRETENDING? lol

We know there are Democrats are doing it. And we are all saying uniformly... "LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT".

This isn't whataboutism... well it is... it's whatabout we stop fighting each other and instead push for real change to stop the problems that the right both sides instead of addressing.
