I don't trust the billionaires trying to run things for the benefit of themselves and other oligarchs - which is most of them. Bloomberg is running for president, Soros isn't - huge difference. I have no problem with billionaire folks who use their money to good cause, yes give the DNC huge donations, buy tv ads, support good Dems incumbents and challengers, support alternative energy sources. It's just most got to be billionaires by bilking others and scamming & stealing from the working class is generally their way of life - Adelson, Sinclairs, Murdoch, Koch are all examples of oligarchs that are dangerous. Far more of them than the 1-2 good guys.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
