I generally agree with the notion that the parties raise money off this rhetoric. However the implied group in the title, “America’s wealthy” isn’t covered here

I generally agree with the notion that the parties raise money off this rhetoric. However the implied group in the title, “America’s wealthy” isn’t covered here. The DNC fundraisers benefit a group of people who don’t generally fall into that category. They’re rich, and powerful sure, but they’re not Jeff Bezos. Americans would do well to be able to tell the difference between the oligarchs and their lackeys.
- admiralspoo 6y agoAre you sure about that? Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Bloomberg, is well, Bloomberg, who spent $1 billion in an attempt to buy the presidency. And Eric Schmidt is looking at tax havens, ironically reported in the media arm owned by Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-24/wealthy-u-s-citizens-are-increasingly-eyeing-a-second-passport https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-24/wealthy-u...
- syshum 6y agoSeems you have fallen into the paradigm that the article talks about, DNC = Good and moral, and implying that RNC == Bad and Evil The reality is the wealthy are entrenched into ALL political parties, even the so called "3rd parties" the DNC is not a "moral and ethical" bull fighting the good fight against the "pure evil" of republicans which is what your comment seems to be implying
