…over moneyed corporate interests inserting themselves into the California Proposition 50 fight.
Soros cuts $10M check for California redistricting campaign
Something tells me it’ll be a long wait…

Mick. Democrats have voted almost unanimously to limit money in politics over many congressional bills. I detailed that in another thread. Republicans, on the other hand, have blocked these efforts almost unanimously. But Democrats aren’t going to unilaterally disarm.
i would be thrilled to get Soros and any other rich Democratic donors to fuck off. But until Republicans agree to that, as well, then sorry, not sorry.
your outrage should be at all the conservatives who blocked the efforts to get money out of politics. But you dutifully vote for them every cycle and spend your time defending them. So forgive me if I’m not that sympathetic about Soros donating to something you don’t like.
NO MALARKEY

(a) You are incorrect and (b) you have no idea how I vote and (c) Biden/Harris had considerably more billionaires backing them than backed Donald Trump; in fact, by nearly a 2:1 margin. So spare me…Democrats drink deeply at that well.
Face it: the Democrats are owned by Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Big Media, Big Law and Big Academia. And it is well known that Kamala Harris both outraised and outspent Donald Trump. In other words, the Rich Kids and the Cool Kids back Democrats. So spare me.
I will still vote for both Democrats and Republicans as a registered independent since 2004.

BYT, you might appreciate this billionaire’s take. He says that the Democrats only ever call him for money. But one politician called to get his opinion.
Guess which one?

Be interesting to watch what happens in New York with the new Socialist mayor. Will there be a flight of the rich? Will the rest of the party understand how very popular it is to raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy? Or even the near-wealthy? All the top Democrats come from high-tax, high-success economy states. Once they discover that it is politically popular to raise taxes on the upper middle class and wealthier, will they commit to that approach? Kamala Harris brought it up, then backed off, I’m guessing, because representatives of the 173 billionaires who backed Democrats informed her that raising the low taxes on the wealthy was the real third rail of politics.
I’m guessing that Democrats will interpret this year’s elections and the 2026 mid-terms as both anti-Trump and anti-wealthy.
Should be interesting…
