FBI recently obtained iCloud data access from Apple for Senator Richard Burr, as part of an on-going investigation regarding stock sales.
Richard Burr is under investigation for selling his stock portfolio while he was receiving updates from government health officials regarding coronavirus pandemic. The timing of his stock sales preceded the sharp decline in the stock market, just a week later. He had heavily invested in businesses that suffered the most due to the pandemic.
[...] Burr sold between $628,000 and $1.72 million worth of stocks. He was not the only senator to do so, as a few others are also under investigation. His brother in law also sold his shares worth between $97,000 and $280,000, on the same day as Burr's sell-off.
It is against the law for lawmakers to make trading decisions based on classified intelligence briefings that they receive due to their position in the government.

None of that is true in the real world.

You just couldn't be more wrong. You still haven't explained why. The choices are there. There is no compelling force to keep people from using them. You're still not making sense.

And yet here we are.
Two hundred years of elections in your country, and never more than two parties.
Here's one explanation, which you will surely reject. [wikipedia.org]

Peoples choice. It's that simple. Why do people always try to over complicate things?
No, I don't reject your link. It actually proves my point. The power comes from the people. They can choose to lead or follow. Most choose to follow. It really is much easier. That's it in a nutshell.
Oh, and key word there, imaginary.

If that is true, then America is the only country in the world whose people feel like that, and I'm not buying it.

You don't have to take my word for it. The evidence speaks for itself. What you see is the peoples choice. A full 95% of the people that bother to say anything at all where it counts choose to stay in their two party box despite what is right there on the ballot. It can hardly be more obvious. Their prison is self made and only they can step out. A psychologist can explain it better to you.

You're not presenting any evidence, you're just making assertions. You didn't even look at the link I posted, did you?

The vote count is all the evidence that you will ever need, right there in black and white.
Yes, I did read the link. I'm very familiar with the term.
The choices are there on the ballot. There is no law that prohibits anyone from using them. The decision is entirely personal.
If you don't believe in free will, please just say so.
