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.

2 of 2 — Blaming won’t help anyone. In fact, there are many people who advised Joe Biden not to run in 2020, and, as the incumbent, he would’ve likely won. Now when ballots can’t be changed they want to kick him out because of the media. We’re screwed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hopefully people wake up.

No desire to "blame". We have to learn from 2016. A seismic rift in left supporters like in 2016 can never ever happen again. Cult of personality in politics is dangerous and toxic. We have to learn lessons. That means bursting the balloon of berniebros denials of what happened

@BobC7000 @dcampbell189 @rbreich I'm just sick of this constant scapegoating of the left by establishment pundits. We're just trying to help people and make society more fair and equitable, and that makes us the bad guys apparently. In fact we're the only political group that tries to help people who aren't rich. Every single other political group just cares about satisfying the donor class.

NONE of what I wrote came from establishment pundits. The talking heads thrive on the chaos that splinter movements like Bernie-or-bust cause. It’s their livelihood to cover it like “pro wrestling”. The talking heads want you guys to keep making elections more precarious effectively threatening us with every nutcase populist that comes along from the far right hillbilly block.
