I think Democratic politicians will have to accept that Big Money's fanaticism means it's impossible to work with them on anything. Your only choice is between serving their interests without deviation or being their enemy - ThreadSky

i'm not even a pinko and i don't know how to tell you that capital will absolutely attempt to strike against this guy given that they have been very publicly signalling this for weeks now in addition to the entire ny dem establishment lol

I agree and this is the main reason the Obama chapter is closed.

The problem is they're ok with taking the money and just losing forever

Really need to reinstate the Malefactors of Great Wealth as the party’s arch-foe. Backed away from that when we elected Kennedy and have suffered ever since.

Concentrated wealth is at the root of our biggest problems. I can understand why many people don't want to run against it but it's extremely necessary and, more importantly, fun 🙂

AND you get to keep your conscience and soul while you do it! Win-win!

Yes. What we are seeing is the logical consequence of unregulated capitalism. The accumulation of vast wealth in the hands of a tiny number of people. Many Senators & Congressmen bankrolled by individuals/corporates, slowly deprived of ability to act/vote independently.

Musk is only the most egregious example. Buys Twitter to make at an instrument for Trump's election, twisting the algorithm and setting up Grok to twist truth further. Brazenly pays people to vote for Trump. Then sets up DOGE to dismantle every government agency that was annoying him.

Cabinet the ultimate symbol of this silent coup. Government of the billionaires, for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

Between the spectacular crash and burn by Musk in Wisconsin and tonight, it's encouraging to see that no matter how much money you or your backers have, it can't paper over a complete lack of ideas or morals.

It is giving me LIFE knowing just how absolutely pissed all of those billionaires who gave Cuomo millions upon millions of dollars only for him to immediately eat shit in the primary.

Time to go FDR Mode, baby.

Funnily enough, you can be their enemy and still be wealthy and famous and powerful. But that is work, and they are le tired

dodgerfanla.bsky.social•1 day ago

some guy had a quote about this IIRC

colette-libertine.bsky.social•1 day ago

He said, "pinko."

hulkfuckscar.top•1 day ago

genuine question which democrat politicians arent big money

dodgerfanla.bsky.social•1 day ago

AOC, bernie, squad members, lots of people who will win primaries next year

Hilariously, as it turns out, billionaire heiress Sara Jacobs

eternalcatwar.bsky.social•1 day ago

whoa really? I thought she got family money for her campaign

if she didn’t suck ass at SD Pride her recent track record is pretty good

mtsw.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think she's probably California's best Rep? Certainly San Diego's

davidobrien.bsky.social•1 day ago

Robert Garcia ain’t bad, and I’m probably a bigger fan of Khanna than a lot of the Bluesky Establishment is

flyingfish2.bsky.social•1 day ago

Think of her as California JB Pritzker 😂

If anyone is wondering where the rise of this fascism came from, look no further than rich people.

The good news is that Wisconsin and NYC primary have shown that $$$ isn’t invincible and at a certain point has diminished returns or can backfire .

babygravel.bsky.social•1 day ago

Capital do be demanding fealty like that

urmomsfriend.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't think anyone in the dem establishment will ever accept this. They don't care and see people like Zohran as a threat to their jobs rather than something to be embraced.

ilikesportsmostly.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think dems would choose the money and be confused about the expectation of deviation in solidarity with traditional marginalized groups, including large segments of their active voter base

clegggg.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think if we can get a firm offer from big money on the number of human sacrifices they demand, we can negotiate from there

commadork69.bsky.social•1 day ago

is this perhaps one of those contradictions i've heard so much about it?? sure is looking a lot more heightened recently
