Following in Trump’s footsteps, another racist, billionaire oligarch - Mike Bloomberg - is currently buying his way to the US presidency. Elites can see the rise of grassroots movements, and are getting desperate - just being puppet-masters is no longer cutting it, it seems.
This time, the billionaire buying his way into politics is doing so in the Democratic Party, exposing more than ever the reality that the US really has just the one party - the party of oligarchy.
He’s spending unprecedented amounts on his PR. I literally can’t look at my phone, mac or TV without seeing his face.
As has always been the case - when billionaires meddle in elections, to rig the system in their favour, it is a totally acceptable thing. Little outrage from media. Apparently some dumb memes from Russia are a far greater threat to the American people.
And it’s working - Bloomberg is second behind Bernie Sanders in some polls now. Even if he doesn’t win, he may well take enough votes/delegates to prevent Sanders from doing so.
Millions of working class Americans, long exploited by the billionaire class, have emptied their pockets donating to a movement for change, led by Sanders, but now one of those billionaires has come along to screw them again!
Please if anyone ever tries to tell you that the US is a democracy, laugh at them. It is an oligarchy.
