“While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbent’s campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a “corrupt” protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collins’ billionaire donation total “stands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponent… whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.”
Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.
It would be nice to have a post-conflict plan TBH. But yeah, whatever the plan, that would be step 1
post conflict plan is socialist reconstruction & infrastructure but most liberals aren’t ready to accept that yet, they’d rather have oligarchy because it means they won’t have to give up their gentrified apartment
No, you see, when I’m in charge, everything will be peachy! It’s the other oligarchs that are the problem.
It’s socialism or barbarism but they got you thinking they are the same things
Honestly, I think the 2nd biggest reason for the opposition to socialism, is change. People don’t like breaking habit, even if it is extremely bad for them. Better the demon you know, than a angel you don’t.
Seems like a short sighted plan. Not much changed after what happened to the CEO of UHC insurance.
Maybe not long term, but there was a noticeable uptick in claims being approved from what I recall. Whether you think Luigi was right or wrong, it’s hard to deny people are alive today because of him.
It directly resulted in thousands of claims being granted that would otherwise have been denied, literally saving thousands of lives. It got my dad’s heart surgery approved.
It’ll hit different when it’s all of them. 1 ceo death is not enough for change. Now go take your noise somewhere else.
It’s cute you think the problem can be solved by wiping them out. You’re either naive or ignorant to the way things work. Either way I don’t want to be a part of this conversation anymore so I’ll just stop completely with my noise.
Never said this was the solution to all the world’s ills. This is justice for thier crimes. Keeping them alive is more dangerous than keeping them living. They must be stopped. ASAP The only reason they should be kept alive is to torture information out of them that will lead to the arrests and eliminatation of the others.
It is us or them. I choose us.
a solution without wiping them out won’t solve the problem.
I call it the house cleaning fallacy. “Cleaning the house doesn’t solve the problem of things getting dirty”
