LadySkinsFan Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I, a Boomer, agree with AOC. Get billionaires out of government, campaign funding, and buying ambassador positions. Our Constitution starts with We the People. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you listen to what she said? Nothing about it was aimed at “moderates”. It’s against Buttigieg running a campaign that is increasingly funded by the benevolent oligarchs of this country. Unless being a tool of the plutocracy is now synonymous with “moderate”, none of it was aimed at centrist voters. You can be a moderate and reject a plutocratic form of governance and campaigning.

Youre right, it wasn't aimed at moderates. It was aimed at people who use the word "plutocrats" in their political discussion. When's the guillotine get set up?

Jumbo Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 even with the ever fresh "how could this happen" remorse from the 100% unacceptable candidate ever, beating the candidate they viewed as the most qualified person ever, and all the lessons and warning flags to heed in examination, ya should be ready for dems to go the "here, hold my beer" route at any time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Bloomberg using prisoners to make campaign calls as posted by visionary above. This guy needs to go. Billionaires aren't any more than the rest of us. I include Steyer in this too, him saying that he's the only one who can take on Trump. I have had enough of a billionaire saying he's the only one of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we should automatically assume that billionaires are better than everybody else. But don't think we should automatically assume they're demons, either. Did Bloomberg say "Find me some convicts to exploit"? Or did he say "Hire a telemarketing company", and a subordinate picked the lowest bidder?

It's Bloomberg's campaign, he should set standards. Low bidder to keep some of those billions against other companies who could give jobs to people outside of prison who are supporting themselves and maybe families? I think billionaires don't have a clue about how the rest of us live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just billionaires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I see a product I like, at a price I like, I buy it. I go to my local BBQ place, I don't inspect the kitchens, or demand their pay stubs. Let alone whoever they buy their pork from. Or which slaughterhouse the wholesaler buys from. Or the farmer that the slaughterhouse buys from. (Heck, I'm not even sure what kind of meat it is. They just say "pork".)

LadySkinsFan Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Larry, the point I am making is I expect better of my elected officials. I know these people are human with human foibles and will act like humans do. They should also, if pursuing politics as a career, endeavor to serve our country and not themselves.
