Wall Street bankers with Ivy League pedigrees can manipulate an $800 trillion interest rate market and destroy the lives and livelihoods of millions of good, hardworking people around the globe, and not go to jail or anything. But if you get caught with a joint, you are thrown in jail and you get a record. Creating a system a more just system ought to be what democracy is about rather than who can plunder the commons. Anything less is at best a waste of time/pandering or at worst sinister.
Why is this important?

This election season is full of the most cynical and sinister pandering that I have ever seen in my life.
