      They all do this shit though in one way or another just often not as blatant. Like Dianne Feinstein’s decades of insider trading for example.

      The system isn’t corrupt, it is doing precisely what it was set up to do. Remember the purpose of a system is what it does. And that is why the US needs to be dismantled entirely for anything to truly get better here or for the world any time soon.

        No they don’t all do this shit. No one else is taking a massive jet from a foreign country. This is not an either sides situation.

          How is 10s of millions of dollars (probably in the 100s over her, like, 6 decades in office) different than a garish jet?

          This is EXACTLY a both sides situation, this one is just louder and more gauche which annoys your liberal sensibilities. You’re just fine with all the other backroom dealing and social murder all these ghouls are complicit in.

          Right now Gavin Newsom is making literally genocidal policy decisions regarding unhoused people. You are so blinded by Trump’s antics you fail to see the rot that produced him.

            Profiting off of your internal knowledge of legislation is not even close to the same thing as receiving a 400+ million dollar direct bribe from a foreign country. Not only is it corruption but it is treason.

              Like I said, you seem to be just fine with corruption and social murder or even outright slaughter in the case of Palestine, when it’s your team at the helm.

              You people fucking disgust me.

              Also your sidebar is incorrect, Liberalism as an ideology was founded on those principles specifically for white people. The US was founded on “liberalism” which has historically included a genocidal slaver state that didn’t allow women or even men if they did not own property, the right to vote. It has always and will always be the ideology that puts the rights of private property over the needs and rights of humanity as a whole. Liberalism and its failures are historically how all fascist movements have arisen.

              If you want to actually fight fascism you’re gonna have to come a lot further left.
