@WizardBear @Nonilex So, yes, but it's important to note that there are members of the billionaire class who are Democrats, and just because we're cornered into electing the candidates who'll polish their PR doesn't mean we can let up on what they're actually up to. November is just a start. We'll convince more voters if we show them we're prepared to follow up.
