    Yep. Interesting story is that left/liberal billionnaires tend to sit on their hands. There are *many* more on the right with open checkbooks—especially when it comes to funding longer-term electoral infrastructure. Left/liberal money mostly in 501 c(3) (aka non-partisan) land.https://twitter.com/behindyourback/status/1061300625886142464 …

        i honestly find that really interesting. you'd think between silicon valley/crypto/electronic trading there'd be at least a couple folks on the left who made a lot of money basically by accident and want to be effective

        Isn’t a part of that the issue that a loud faction on the left has made taking money from billionaires a bad thing in spite of the fact that the right has no such issues with it?

        I think it's bc most left leaning or Dem supporting billionaires contribute to causes more rather than specific candidates. Either way, I think the root of most problems in politics stems from millionaire donors contributing to both parties.

        Considering the right wing essentially exists to maintain the oligarchy, this stands to reason!

        Soros & Adelson are atypical billionaires. Availability bias hides asymmetry. Most US oligarchs prefer to remain in stealth mode to enact 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 policies.

        I'm pretty sure conservatives started pushing the Soros story after liberals were going after the Koch bros so much.
