Because billionaires shouldn’t exist, but since they do, they put their dark money (thank you citizens United) towards funding these misinformation farms, and into the coffers of these pols, on both sides (corporate Dems). Nobody, no matter how strong the message, can compete with billionaire money. There are no good billionaires, not 1, sure there are 1 or 2 that do “good” things, but ultimately, if you horde that much money, the first and foremost thing that you do is try and protect your money/land/power, and humanity is an afterthought. Look at what progressives did in Minnesota, if that got highlighted, the way that target or bud light got highlighted, people in this country would wonder why the fukk every single state didn’t do shyt like that? The last thing these billionaires want to happen is for the populace to find out that the local govt can actually get things done if they elect progressives. It’s mainly that, and to a smaller degree, “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”, where as ignorant, unhappy, poor people don’t understand that if you live a fulfilling life, with enough to get by, and take care of your family, have a nice work/life balance, the whole country would be in a far better place. Instead, 1 medical emergency can leave a family homeless. There are more guns in this country than people. This country is in love with danger, violence, capitalism, and death.
