And he'd still have a billion dollars. Need I remind you that platforms are non binding? How about how Super Pacs have been destroying our nation? https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/tom-steyer-political-donations-organizations-funded-amounts-559f47 Steyer is literally one of the largest individual donors... He is everything wrong with our political system and giving him the keys because he promises to be a good boy is ridiculous when he is constantly not a good boy and keeps hoarding all the fucking wealth. If he was serious about not hoarding wealth, why is he still actively doing it?! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] grue@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago So which non-billionaire is a better alternative?
