Who's side he is really on.

This is why Democrats can't have nice things because we do and say shit like this.

Now, I have been unequivocally clear that billionaires are the true enemies of the state and this is a hard red line for me.

Sorry, this guy should NOT be president in my opinion.
(Yes, if he somehow ends up as the nominee I will vote for him but only because the alternative is much worse but that should not be the standard we are forced into)

Now can we please have a more progressive candidate and stop courting these billionaire sycophants?
