“While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbent’s campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a “corrupt” protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collins’ billionaire donation total “stands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponent… whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.”
It would be nice to have a post-conflict plan TBH. But yeah, whatever the plan, that would be step 1
post conflict plan is socialist reconstruction & infrastructure but most liberals aren’t ready to accept that yet, they’d rather have oligarchy because it means they won’t have to give up their gentrified apartment
No, you see, when I’m in charge, everything will be peachy! It’s the other oligarchs that are the problem.
Honestly, I think the 2nd biggest reason for the opposition to socialism, is change. People don’t like breaking habit, even if it is extremely bad for them. Better the demon you know, than a angel you don’t.
