Bernie is right. The super rich are turning the US into an Oligarchy. They have enough money to sway election in any direction they chose. It seem Bezos and Zuck are more interested in gaining favor with trump as they donate to his inaugural fund. Musk is just nuts. If voters do not wake up, the US will become a country like Russia....payed for and owned by the super rich.

The US has long been an oligarchy.

It started with Reagan’s war on working Americans and policies beneficial to the wealthy and corporate elite.

LOL, after the democrats and their rich donors bought the 2020 election in collusion with the FBI, now they are worried when the shoe is on the other foot and the playing field is more or less level.
How much money did Kamala spend? HINT: $1billion

How much did Trump spend? $425m less than half.

‘When we had heavily regulated and taxed capitalism in the post-war era, the largest employer in America was General Motors, and they paid working people what would be, in today's dollars, about $50 an hour with benefits. Reagan began deregulating and cutting taxes on capitalism in 1981, and today, with more classical "raw capitalism," what we call "Reaganomics," or "supply side economics," our nation's largest employer is WalMart and they pay around $10 an hour.

This is how quickly capitalism reorients itself when the brakes of regulation and taxes are removed - this huge change was done in less than 35 years.’

Reaganomics killed America's middle class

This country's fate was sealed when our government slashed taxes on the rich back in 1980

And Republicans continue to advance Reagan’s failed, disastrous policies.

Comrade Bernie is great at pointing problems out, but his remedies aren't so great......~S~

It wasn't Reagan, it was Nixon's opening up of China and the mass migration of US factories to China that doomed the US middle class. That mass migration was due in part to unions becoming too powerful such that companies lost profitability.
Look at the mess Boeing is in today.
Republicans are bringing back manufacturing jobs now that automation has made manufacturing profitable again.

p.s. what disastrous Reagan policies are Republicans advancing? Link please.

Scathing? Is the left wing spin blaming Speaker Johnson for the execution of unarmed and harmless Ashli Babbitt?

You were singing a different tune when Zuckerberg spent over 400 MILLION dollars to get Biden selected.

Dumbshit.

Yup. Absolutely true. And then the SC put the final nail into our coffin with Citizens United.

Musk is now going to charge the tax payers for starlink kits....cause he can't afford to give Ukraine free kits......another grifter.

Of course, they are only stating this now because Musks tweet saved a few billion from being spent on boondoggles which many of their donors wanted.

At least Trump didn't pay campaign funds to celebs to get their endorsement.

And changing the laws so they are above the law. Everything in their favor.
