Nina Turner just called Mike Bloomberg an oligarch on MSNBC

So I guess the Sanders campaign feels threatened by him?

If I were to vote in a presidential

16. The evil is assumed.

The usage of the word in modern context is almost always negative (and quite certainly is here) and the presumption is that "evil" is part of the equation.

Let's not pretend she meant it in a positive way. That would be ridiculous.

35. Oligarchy (noun)

Definition: A small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.

Blowing one's money on campaign adds does not make one an oligarch.

For what it's worth, it is unclear that someone can "buy an election" by buying ad time. It is unquestionably true that ad time can buy you name recognition. It is unclear how that translates into votes.

59. Definition

https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/oligarch

oligarch
Pronunciation /ˈäləˌɡärk/ /ˈɑləˌɡɑrk/
noun

1A ruler in an oligarchy.

2(especially in Russia) a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence.

Sounds like she used the term accurately, especially given Bloomberg's recent large donation to the DNC and their recent rule change in his favor.

30. Oligarchy: (please read the last sentence)

, an oligarch is a "member of an oligarchy; a person who is part of a small group holding power in a state". Aristotle gave the concept of oligarchy some negative connotations, but the term does not necessarily imply wealth.

... Bloomberg is seen as a rival for moderates, especially Biden. He is not seen as someone getting any significant number of Bernie voters - unless I'm missing something? Could it be positioning Bernie as less a part of the wealthy class, relative to Bloomberg?
