There shouldn’t be billionaires at all and that is precisely why Mamdani won.

Forgot what interview he did, but he pointed out before “They’re spending more money on campaigns against me than the amount of money they’d actually be taxed under my proposal.”

Waiting for them to flee like the rich around the world always say they will if a “socialist” gets elected.
You guys got the money, get going.

Trumps endorsing Como was a huge success.

It is proof how little effect money has when a candidate is GOOD, LIKABLE, and has POLICIES THAT PEOPLE WANT.
Money is only useful when both parties are running goofy lame dipshits and try and scrape off a handful of interminably uncertain “independents.”
If the DNC actually focused on finding candidates of Mamdani’s quality, and folding them into the party and boosting them, rather than rewarding other goofy dipshits who have been in the party for a century and feel that it is “their time,” we’d win even more elections and we wouldn’t have been in this mess to begin with.
But it also shows that YOU CAN HAVE AN EFFECT, by getting involved locally in your Democratic chapter and BOOSTING GREAT CANDIDATES. Find people who rock. Who get it. Who are young, and energetic, and have ideas and hope and optimism and communicate that outward.
And also, I want everyone to keep something in mind: **Zohran is who billionaires WISH they were**.
These people are some of the thirstiest, most desperate people on planet Earth to get people to like them. They want it so, so, *so* badly. But all the money in the world can’t buy them a personality. They’re miserable, greedy dopes. Never forget what sad little losers these people are. Don’t let the money make you forget how fucking sad and pathetic a billionaire is.

Cuomo thought islamophobia, anti-communist rhetoric, and millions of dollars would get him across the finish line. He had no real policies besides hiring 5000 police officers. What’s funny about that is he would attack Mamdani’s policies by saying NYC couldn’t pay for them; yet how was he going to pay for 5000 cops?

I mean, you don’t necessarily have to be smart to be a billionaire. Just lucky.

I live in a pretty well off neighborhood for the most part. At the gym this morning, it was just me, the trainer, and another guy I hadn’t seen before– 50, ugly tan, couldn’t stop talking about golf and football.
The trainer started asking us about everything that happened last night (me and him occasionally talk politics) and 50 year old guy immediately said everything going on in New York is very scary.
We both look at him and ask why. He says he doesn’t know, that’s just what his wife says and she knows a lot. He later opened up and it’s because New York is like 50% immigrants and they probably deserve things like that. Probably even of those 50%, most are illegal and they want everything free.
That guy was kind of an ass and super freaked out. When we asked about California and Virginia, he was just like *I don’t know man, I just can’t pay attention to this stuff* and then went back to talking golf.

If Democrats win in 2028, we need to seek retribution against the billionaire class. Impose a large wealth tax on assets worth over $5mil, impose large taxes on CEO bonus packages, send out IRS attack dogs after Musk and Bezos, etc. The billionaire class will always interfere with our lives if we allow them to keep their wealth

Proving once and for all that if you want Democrats to win, you must support and vote for Democrats. We got “here” because ppl did not vote for Democrats last November, so it stands to logical reason that voting&electing Democrats will get us out.
prevention is still the best cure.
* At this point, voting and electing Democrats are the correct choice 100% of the time.
* And saying “don’t vote” or “don’t vote for Democrats” is Functionally identical to saying “I want Republicans to win”.
* After 2016 & 2024, the destructive nature of the “earn my vote” mentality is practically undeniable.
* In the US, Not voting means “ANY”
(and not “none of the above”).
* Voting for a third party IS a waste. Not to mention that like cicadas, the 3rd parties themselves hibernate and only are active during presidential elections. It’s just a fact of the US Political system.

Dumb and billionaire is an oxymoron
