> who centered their messages much more around reducing the structural power of billionaires and large corporations.

The problem is that there is a segment of the American voters who believe that if the current billionaires and large corporations would quit screwing them, they would become the billionaires and owners of the large corporations. As such they are all for screwing over the current crop of billionaires, but don’t want long lasting reduction in the structural power of billionaires.

Sir, this is a site run by an investment fund, I'm afraid you've stepped a bit out of line there.

This platform is far from an impartial place. People need to remember the reason this site exists...

I've heard it said that Americans all think they are potential millionaires and billionaires that have temporarily hit a down patch. That's why democratic socialism will never fly here except for isolated programs.

Reminds me of an article I keep in my bookmarks from a long time ago, which is probably still true today: 39% of Americans think they are in the top 1% or that they will one day be [1]. They don't want to be mean to the rich because they think they are rich or will soon be among them.

Sir, how dare you discuss taxing money I haven't earned yet and will likely never earn in my lifetime.
