There wasn’t much good news on Super Tuesday for the more progressive wing of the Democratic party, save for one lesson: money on its own, mercifully, cannot, as of yet, buy an entire election.
LauraDiBella15 It sent a message. It exposed trump completely. If you want to attack, attack the system that politicians have to have tv ads and the media takes advantage of it. Now go after the tv stations to see how much of that they donate to charities. Bloomberg donates billions Do they?
If he helps get Trump out of the WH, the student debtors and the homeless may get some help. Besides, he still has $60 billion left and he says he wants to check to the undertaker to bounce.
Just $1m for me and i would change my town. I would curb youth unemployement. Just a wish. Good luck Mike
What about the 10billion Bezos is going to spend ...
Think of how many climates he could have changed for that money. ClimateEmergency
Could have...should’ve.. would’ve!
If he actually wanted the help or make changes he could use that money and just do it. But here's a radical thought...it's not about helping people. But power and the ability to make a shit load more money.
A rich man actually spending his money is a good thing for the world's economy. Maybe every election can be used to get rich money hoarders to spread some of their wealth about.
julianborger Oh my, shoes for the poor, teeth for the toothless, water for the desert. It's his damn money. He could pile it into a big pile and set it on fire. If it stops Trump, it's a small investment.
Yeah but how many Big Macs could he get instead? Those are the numbers!
Irrelevant. Every ad he bought hammered DJT. Stop measuring everything in money terms. It was his to spend, and he feels very strongly, as do I, that fascism is not good for our country.
What a waste of money
I’d rather him have hired like a million people for a few months rather than buy an absurdly priced Manhattan penthouse or boats or something.
Sure, but considering that he was largely campaigning to prevent those things from happening, it makes sense that he wouldn't. What he definitely could have done was support a Republican spoiler to derail Trump, assuming that his stated goal of beating Trump was true...
It doesn't matter . This is how we roll here in the USA. Citizens can actually do this here.
