At least 63 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, or contributed to Trump aligned PACs.

Why are they rallying behind him? Tax cuts, mostly. But there's more.

The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

Be warned.

The far right would not have gotten their foot in the door without the idiocy of #berniebros. Thanks idiots. We ended up with the bust option that you idiots insisted on.

Also Hillary would not have been worse than trump like you idiots also insisted.

I look out how democracy and global stability hangs by a thread and look back on Bernie’s toddler-like pouty face at the 2016 Dem convention… you idiots had no clue the crisis you idiots were causing.

Thanks a lot idiots.

@BobC7000 @rbreich Actually, Hillary Clinton was the one who originally pushed Donald Trump because she thought he would be easy to beat and is responsible for his presidency.

1 of 2 — Actually this has been debunked multiple times. As far as the original comment about Bernie Bros, it was a factor, but definitely not THE factor. Russia was a huge factor, as well as Jill Stein (also Russia,) the electoral college not doing their job, extreme right wing gerrymandering and voter suppression.

@dcampbell189 @BobC7000 @rbreich Explain how it's been debunked. It was basically proven in the Pied Piper email that Hillary Clinton pushed Trump as the Republican front runner. And if it were someone other than her running against Trump, they probably would have won. This idea that progressives can't win is absolute bullshit. If that's the case, then why do Neoliberals pretend to be progressive in order to get elected?
