What proof do you have that there is a difference between the Team Red and Team Blue, other than your not on the team you’re railing against.

For example, given Nancy Pelosi’s effectiveness as an investor, she was effectively a highly successful day trader with a side hustle as a representative of her constituents.

Framing this as a Left v Right, is at best, naive.

Trump's second-term clemencies so far have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion. That's over 2,000x the amount amount eliminated by Biden's pardons ($680,000).

These pardons go to convicted criminals who have ties to Trump and his administration, or who have donated significant sums to Trump.

It is very obvious the current administrating is the most corrupt administration in modern history by several orders of magnitude.

And what of Pelosi and the like? The problem is, you’re not able to measure what you cannot see.

For example, the obvious… Epstein Files. That went on for how long? Involved hundreds if not thousands of (mostly) men of power. Bill Clinton comes to mind.

Just because you couldn’t see the corruption doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

You're responding to a comment that explicitly said I wasn't doing that. This is not Left vs Right, it's Trump vs everyone else.

Your bias is blinding you. The System is corrupted. Full stop.

How do we know? Look who is in the WH. How can a fair and just system lead to that? You’re failing for the “OMG! Look at him!!” narrative. A narrative brought to you by the people whose incompetence and negligence led to Trump. A narrative that distracts from their failures. You should be asking: How did we get here? Who is accountable? But you’re not.
