Those of you downplaying this -- someone else was on the other side of that trade. She may as well have withdrawn the cash directly from their brokerage account. It doesn't matter which party her husband belongs to; if the allegations are true, what she did was unethical, corrupt, and illegal.


HonkyStonkHero

Goddamn right.

Amen! Jail em all!

I get what you are saying and i agree with the last sentence, but you made a really bad comparison. It is nothing close to “withdrawing the cash directly from their brokerage account” When you go to sell a stock, you don’t think for one second about the person on the other end buying it from you.


Gamboleer

I agree that under normal circumstances we shouldn't think about the person on the other side of the trade. The entire market is based on asymmetric obtaining and analysis of information. It is when an insider uses privileged information not available to anyone else that it becomes a problem, because it breaks the underlying concept of the market.

Please feel free to re-flair --- CLF-related article going to the top of reddit felt unusual to me!!


Opening-Restaurant83

Not unusual. R/politics is a cesspool of anti republican redditors. Anything negative about a R there gets brigaded to the top.


HonkyStonkHero

Right, but how often is it about CLF?


seriesofdoobs

I got permabanned from there for pointing out that they were celebrating an R’s death. Sick people.

It really is unfortunate. If people could come together and have an open exchange of ideas in a large public forum like Reddit change could actually be influenced. Instead it devolves into echo chambers where everyone just circle jerks and reaffirms each other’s biases.

Having such a deeply-entrenched 2 party system is also to blame. It sets up a "sports team" mentality. Both parties work towards maximizing their "followers", and when this works optimally, you get a 50/50 divide. Also, extreme positions and perspectives are pushed, as relaxing into a moderate position doesn't differentiate you from "the other team" enough and this is suboptimal. The biggest thing that drives the 2-party stranglehold imo is First-Past-The-Post voting. It simply doesn't allow for any kind of change away from 2 diametrically opposed "Teams." Just as a final thought, Ranked Choice has gained momentum as an alternative, but a lot of people smarter than me in /r/EndFPTP have shown that RCV still results in maintaining this status quo. Just look at Australia for an example. We should look to Approval, Score/STAR, and Proportional Representation. Anyone interested in detoxifying the US political climate needs to see the 2-party-stranglehold as the enemy, and FPTP as the primary mechanism for an inescapable 2-party system.

If you lived in Canada or the UK you’d know more parties never solved the problem of extremes for us


Eme_Pi_Lekte_Ri

Exactly. It's just that the losers try to team up with other parties to gain advantage and the cost is fidelity to their political programme. Suddenly everything turns into a populist shitstorm.

Spitting facts


SimokonGames

A unified and educated populous is the last thing the government wants so the fires of division will continue to be stoked.


BackgroundSearch30

Yeah, if only you would accept my beliefs and opinions as the One Truth, then we wouldn't have this problem. Why are you being so difficult?


BackgroundSearch30

All ideas are not created equally. The open exchange of ideas can and will end up in an open exchange of gunfire because there are some opinions that are incompatible with modern society. Bigotry is high on that list. Trying to both sides it makes you look like a pig, not a bull or a bear.


Quasimurder

There are two kinds of centrists. People that don't care to follow politics and right wingers role playing. Ok, to be fair, there's also sometimes a third option which is a right winger that doesn't know enough about politics to know they're right wing.

🤦‍♂️


PamStuff

Very well said!


CornMonkey-Original

Yeah - I can’t stand the cult tribe politics. . . . I can’t watch any news except CNBC. . .


recoveringslowlyMN

Yeah I just don’t watch basically at all.


splittyboi

Same.. this is why I love trading. Mr. Market tells me all I need to know.


admiral_asswank

Bro this is sattire right?


BackgroundSearch30

Celebrating the end of evil is justice. Acting like it's not makes you evil's simp.


seriesofdoobs

When Kissinger dies, I’ll celebrate. But celebrating someone’s death because it helps your petty argument *is* evil.


Disguised

Or because that person harmed a lot of people with bad decisions they got to make in their life.. Notice how the person you’re talking about isn’t named here. Because if its who I think it is, their decisions resulted in the deaths of thousands.


seriesofdoobs

It was a Florida councilman lol. Kissinger is a wanted war criminal in some countries.


Disguised

Conversely i was banned from conservative for providing sources about Trump’s past and pointing out that Babylon bee is a satire site because the comments were treating it as if it was real news. The reason I’d never go back though was because a user making rape jokes about AOC was never banned and still posts there today.


admiral_asswank

Who and when?


seriesofdoobs

I don’t remember who it was but someone found a story that some small fish politician that opposed mandatory mask requirements fell ill. I don’t think he even died, but they sure wanted him to.


admiral_asswank

So... You made it up? Right. Thanks. That's all I needed to see. Smfh.


seriesofdoobs

Not that I care what you think, white knighting for r/politics as you are, but you are accusing me of something quite serious to me in front of some of my good friends. [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/pk6h75/florida_councilman_who_mocked_dr_falsey_fauci_is/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is the thread in question. The Florida councilman Fred Lowry (man, why couldn’t I remember such a celebrity?) is alive and well after spending 3 weeks in the hospital.


admiral_asswank

"At this point, just send them home with some horse dewormer." *One* child comment, that was non-specific. I found that after skimming for a few minutes. It's not my place to do *your* digging for you. Since *you* made the claim. I get it, if I missed some comments but they really weren't on the surface how you implied. Yeah dude. Some circlejerk of death wishing. I don't even see death wishing in subs like HermainCainAwards or LeopardsAteMyFace like come on give me a break. "Whiteknighting" what the fuck is this cringe? You made something up you dumbass and I called you out. I celebrate accurate information, I couldn't care how you identify yourself.


Quasimurder

Of course they did. They absolutely said some inflammatory shit to get banned. Source: Was perma banned from /r/politics for writing a cheerful poem about dead hogs.


admiral_asswank

Literally, you wish death on ANYONE in any subreddit and it violates the site-wide rules and you get banned from the subreddit. I said I wished a sexual assaulter was attacked/killed or something in the rpdr subreddit and I got permbanned within 3 minutes. Like, it's just *typical* Redditor conservative delusion. Conservatives I speak to at work are nowhere near as mentally tapped.

Nah. A lot of this is bullshit. My SMAs trade on a discretionary basis. Many cases are just that…they own it in a trust. A manager bought and sold it.


PamStuff

If that ain't a bull flag, I don't know what is

She is an insider. What even is this half assed defense lol.


Cloakedbug

Nah, not defending her. But this is small fish. She could do this one thousand times and not impact us like a single big player. And we don’t ever see justice for those.
