So tired of this one. One of the most populist things the Democrats could do, as a group, would be to run on ending the legal insider trading that all these fuckers do. Doing something like that would probably give them the House and the Senate if they actually ran on that, broadcast that, and then did something about it. That might be easier to do - if they could stop self-dealing.
Nancy is the face of this but it's not like it's only her or confined to Democrats.

True. She just happens to be the very best at it, bar none.
She's less awful than most Republicans and a few of the Democrats in Washington in general, but when it comes to legal corruption, nobody's as prolific and skilled as Pelosi. No Democrats, no Republicans.
That's how she was elevated to leadership over 20 years ago without seniority and with no legislative accomplishments to speak of: nobody's as good at corralling and representing the owner donors as her.
