    The problem is, it is very hard to win elections without money. So a party that cuts out billionaire spending is less likely to win while also splitting the dem vote.

      Splitting the dem vote implies that Democrats are entitled to all votes, not Republican. They have never done anything to earn mine. And after lurching far to the right, like they did this last election, I can’t see how anyone thinks that they have earned their vote.

      The Democrats wanted to tax the rich and they still got way more donations than Trump, but all of that pales in comparison to buying out Twitter.

      You don’t have to be poor to see that Republicans are a threat to us all.

      Democrats outraised trump and still lost.

      You need to not tell your voters to fuck off if you can imagine that.

        The DNC didn’t have foreign bot farms and billionaires on their side.

        Elon literally bought votes but you don’t count that when you say “outraised Trump”.

          I know! Maybe if they abandon everyone that you don’t care about and focus only on the bot farms and billionaires that you do care about, they’ll win!

          Democrats can’t keep moving to the right like you want them to. They hit a wall. They peeled off none of the republican votes you envy. But they got to throw people you hate under the bus, so it’s good for you.
