    Biden and the DNc is owned by China and the Billionaires.

    Trump and the GOP is the party of the people, the working man and main street

    How the heck is that possible?
    His daddy was a racist scoundrel who drove one of his sons to suicide.
    The whole trump clan is a gaggle of unscrupulous, immoral grifters.
    If anything, being potus has been a temporary boon for his businesses.
    Unfortunately, it also showed people what a repulsive person he is and it may end up being the culmination of his ruin.

    nobody is voting for his dad. He’s dead. Your nominee is a racist, that’s spend 47 in washington spreading it. Using his power to gain massive wealth from corrupt gives around the globe and drove his son to crack because even the crackhead couldn’t handle the stress of the corruption.

    Billionaires don't give a damn about the nation. They don't believe in the nation. They are globalists. They want open borders. The want a massive underbelly of low IQ, low skill serfs they can pay dog crap wages to (while using taxpayer resources to provide gibs to make up for the low wages). They can sell cheap Chinese crap to them and get them hooked on credit card debt that they can't get out of via bankruptcy. These are the people supporting Biden, the corrupt elite. These are the people on YOUR side and you are proud of it. I am gob-smacked. I guess any pretense of caring about the middle and working classes is now gone for the Democrats.

    Billionaires are good, patriotic people now?

    The constant leftist flipping and flopping, it's enough to make you dizzy.

    You might as well tax them to death then. Apparently they don't care.

    Nope, I'm pretty sure all billionaires were evil incarnate last week. AOC and Bernie Sanders wouldn't lie to me.

    What changed? I didn't get the memo.

    It isn't just billionaires.

    Lindsey Graham has been whining for weeks at the enormous amounts of money being raised and spent by his opponent, and was nearly in tears recently, asking where all of that money came from.

    Well, Lindsey dearest, $25 of it came from me, and I don't live in NC. Nor am I alone ... many of us poorer people have dug up a little cash to defeat GOP senators all over the country.

    In my state, Corey Gardener is so far behind in the poles that the RNC has cut him off from funding, and he isn't the only one. The Dems flipped the House overwhelmingly two years ago, and it looks like they will do the same this election to the Senate.

    Here are my own predictions:

    Collins: :toast:
    Gardener: :toast:
    Ernst: :toast: (especially after that last debate where she made a fool of herself)
    McSally: :toast:
    Tillis: :toast:

    There are a few more that are still very close, but if Biden and Harris win, the above is more than enough to take the gavel away from Moscow Mitch.

    Jimmy Carter?

    I'm with you, so tired of presidents who have no idea who we the people are. They've never had to sweat the rent, or worry about buying groceries, or new clothes and shoes for growing children. They've never had to take out second mortgages just to pay medical bills. Etc. Bunch of entitled little pricks, IMO.

    Or, Dem voters could see that even billionaires - the ones who benefited from Trump's tax breaks - see that Trump is crippling the US.

    Why is that?

    Republicans pushed the Citizens United case through the SCOTUS so that billionaires could use PACs and SuperPACs to funnel money to campaigns and issues. And now they want to whine about the Democrats making use of that open door for dark money?

    Yeah, but that would have been a losing proposition. Most voters are centrist, and Biden is much less terrifying.

    Personally, I liked Andrew Yang.

    All of his financial records, including tax returns, have been publish. Go ahead, find the corruption, I double-dog dare you.

    Most of the Bidens' wealth (a grand total of $9 million, modest by political standards) came from book sales, speaking fees, and making smart choices as to when and where to buy a home.

    See #67. They're using the GOP's own tactics against them.

    Um, no. See #67. Billionaires can donate all the money they want since the Citizens United decision. The Democrats are using the GOP's own tool against them.

    And sorry, but Trump's fundraising is nowhere near Biden's.

    I'd like to see an analysis of said billionaires interests. Wouldn't forum progressives agree they're probably nothing but a bunch of capitalists pigs trying to protect their wealth?

    Because he beat Hillary spending 1/2 the amount. The big corporate $ goes to Democrats. They are the party of the elite and you don't even get it.
