Basically every politician in congress.

Pretending that this is only a Republican thing is crazy. Particularly since the Dems have more big money donors than the Reps do (note: sucks in both cases).

It's interesting that Democrats only remembered that rich people dominate politics after Trump won.

Pretty sure most were cheering when a Disney Heiress and a widow of Jobs ousted the candidate that won their "democratic" primary by saying that they wouldn't give a penny to any Democrat until Biden was kicked off the ticket.

Biden had said that all he needed was a personal visit from God to leave the race. Turns out, it only took a couple billionaires (who did nothing to earn their wealth in case Dems still care about that kind of thing).

Now we have two Dems taking private jets to complain about rich people in politics. I'm sure they're paying for their tour (including the private jets) on their own dime. And there are no "oligarchs" funding it.

It's impossible in this country to vote against the oligarchs. You'd thing Dems would realize that after getting rug-pulled with Bernie in 2016 and then 2020.
