A lot of the people who look at your picture will be looking at the money bags and Benjamins with a feeling of greed, not resentment.

We Dems still need to get our legs back under us. Trump and Musk are totally going to eat our lunch for a while. The "inequality" argument has been co-opted by them. We'll see if it's a grift. I don't like what I'm seeing so far. Bernie, AOC, Warren, etc., would need to reimagine themselves to get clout back. The one great thing they are doing is focusing on meat and potatoes.
