    I get it.

    But I’ll say this, any billionaire that ACTUALLY cared about progressive causes could make huge strides by simply funding grassroot movements, instead of whatever the fuck this ad is supposed to do.

    It wouldn’t even cost that much, just pump money into youtube creators and organisers and you’ll actually make a difference.

    Republicans are winning because they are winning the propaganda game, becuase they are well funded by the Kochs, Musks and other billionaire assholes

    Until they do they all this stuff is just bullshit.

      It’s remarkably cheap for a billionaire to do this shit. Bezos bought wapo for $250M

      It’d frankly be dead cheap for a billionaire to setup and run a progressive newspaper and/or fund a hundred YouTube progressives and progressive politicians.

      Heck, they could setup and operate a general union fund and support union campaigns and union relief funds. They could indefinitely support striking workforce. Doing that just once would completely change how companies interact with unions.

      LMAO. How about maybe paying their employees what they’re actually worth, and not evading taxes at every opportunity?
