    The Koch Brothers understand, and other billionaires do too, that centrist Dems are a crucial line of defense in stopping social democracy.https://twitter.com/_waleedshahid/status/1138119604243435522 …

    The Koch Brothers are considering spending tons of money to defend Democratic incumbents from progressive primary challengers. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/06/koch-brothers-float-backing-democrats-in-2020/ …

        The entire Democratic Leadership Council that nurtured the Clintons, Obama, and other centrists of the period was funded by a variety of hedge-funders and other people with too much money, including the Kochs. Two members of the Koch Foundation sat on the DLC board.

        I wish people would stop calling the "centrist Dems." It's not untrue but the center has shifted so far to the right that "centrist Dems" are indistinguishable from Reagan Republicans.

        Koch's want the Dems to fix the economy, *again*, without having to give up their ill-gotten Trump granted tax booty. And even though in a Democratic administration it's inevitable that some claw back will happen, Koch's want to keep the pain to acceptable levels.

        What claw-back, exactly? You mean like when we thought f'sure Dems would get rid of that clause in Medicare Part-D that prevented Medicare from negotiation prices, and instead made it part of the PPACA? Or like when they made the Bush tax cuts permanent?
