Personally, I think one big problem is both parties rely too much on donors that turn out to be white collar criminals to ever treat it with the performative concern they show over petty street crime.

They are compromised and nihilized just like neighborhood kids into a street gang.

Lose a thousand dollars, you're in trouble. Lose a million dollars, the bank is in trouble. Lose a billion dollars and you're bailed out by the government.

When I taught criminology, I tried to get students interested in white-collar crimes rather than serial killers and mass murderers. It was a tough road, although white-collar criminals kill more people.
