I get y’all wanna just slam on the Trumps, but the Dems have absolutely been abusing the financial system for well over a decade to go after political rivals.
Weaponization of our institutions like that should be firmly rejected by everyone, whether we like the targets or not.
That's what this sub is about. Progressive politics now means pretending that your local right wing party is fundamentally different from your local left wing party. Both are funded by the same corporate interests and both are chock full of corrupt sell-outs. But one of them talks about helping people while actively screwing them over, so they are O-K!
