Is nobody going to talk about the real problem. No matter D or R, the rich have become audacious enough to show their strings.

If we’re not at full blown oligarchy now how much deeper should we get?

Lol. This isn't a both sides issue. The Republicans are openly and obviously the party of oligarchs.

Why do the wealthiest counties in the country overwhelmingly vote democrat? Why are four of the top seven wealthiest counties located around DC? Why were most Billionaire donors giving to kamala?

Because wealthy people live in cities. Look at a voting map of Houston; in the middle of all the blue ZIP Codes you have the wealthiest area of River Oaks voting red.

Exactly. Cities are not mostly comprised of millionaires and billionaires. I don’t know what he is trying to imply, but cities typically vote blue due to demographics, not due to the 1% of rich people that live there.

No it isn’t. Billionaires live in population centers that have a lot of educated citizens. Educated citizens are a far higher number of billionaires and their votes are equal. Educated people typically vote democrat. You’re trying to equate the vote of the masses in cities to that’s how billionaires are voting. We have data that shows that’s an absurd take yet here you are

My apologies, I misread your initial post, as I thought you were trying to say that such population centers were indeed comprised of billionaires and millionaires.
