Summary
Progressives criticized the attendance of billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos at Donald Trump’s inauguration, labeling them “billionaires’ row” and emblematic of an administration prioritizing the wealthy.
Critics argue the inauguration, funded by over $200 million in corporate and lobbyist donations, signals a pro-billionaire agenda.
Trump’s proposed Cabinet includes 13 billionaires, with a combined net worth of over $460 billion, and aims to push tax cuts for the rich.
Bernie Sanders and other progressives warn against “government by the billionaires, for the billionaires.”
7% of registered voters are progressive. Enough excuses, we all knew the stakes of this election.
And yet that does not in any way mean progressives are why Harris lost.
Please enlighten me. If it was not because the democrats were not progressive enough, and it was not because they were too progressive, than why didn’t you vote against MAGA?
When adults want answers to questions they don’t rudely antagonize the person they are questioning.
Harris lost because she refused to address the nuts and bolts economic issue. Nobody gives a fuck about $25k to buy your first home if you aten’t eating 3 meals a day so your kid can. People voted for the guy who claimed to make things cheaper even when that was a lie.
Progressives did not cost the DNC the election. There are not nearly enough if them for that to be the factor.
