There are a few billionaire democrats, but I don't see any of them doing much to actually counter the right wing.

A few speeches and campaign contributions are appreciated, but we need a serious investment in regaining some balance in the media. Some billionaires need to figure out how to build a news/media infrastructure that isn't heavily right-wing biased.

...for our side, and then we need to support it. A lack of moral and financial support is one of the main reasons that ventures like Air America failed (or never even got off the ground).

matter now, the POS didn't do his job other than go after the small fry, all of whom tRUMP will pardon. So much for having his efforts totally wiped out, erased. I hope his name (garland) is wiped out too. I personally think he was damaged by the not being ruled on when nominated for the US Supreme Court (the Senate refused to act on his nomination) and it showed.
