He believes there is such as thing as a good billionaire. Passages Saturday #48

Truth is there are "good" billionaires - but it's a horrible message to be sending out. We only take $$$$$$ from "good" Nanjeanne Saturday #49

We can't take their money and have full independence. Passages Sunday #52

Exactly. Nanjeanne Sunday #53

Just remember, 82 of them backed Harris/Walz. Don't forget we're in oligarch wars now. ancianita Saturday #50

I understand that yet we must stand against that influence. Passages Sunday #51

That would be like standing against Citizens United, and thus shooting ourselves in the foot. ancianita Sunday #54

So, the Vice Chair became the DNC Chair. CoopersDad Sunday #55

Yes. He had Walz's endorsement along with lots of others. ancianita Sunday #56
