This isn't democracy.

This isn’t democracy. And it shouldn’t be legal. Corrupt politicians and massive corporations have gotten away with wielding all the power for far too long. They write the rules to enrich themselves while the rest of us get left behind. I’m running to do more than ban insider trading by member…
