“We’ve had wealthy Democratic politicians before. FDR and JFK had tremendous fortunes, yet they enacted some of the most progressive policies in American history.”

I normally have a standing rule to never vote for a billionaire for any political office, but if it comes down to a Democratic Billionaire, or a MAGA, I’m not going to vote for the MAGA.
We have to remember that the biggest reconfiguration of the government to serve the people was FDR’s New Deal, and he was one of the richest people in America at the time. Occasionally, there is a wealthy person with empathy, who understands the needs of his fellow citizens. I wouldn’t count on it, but sometimes it’s all we have.
