General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: How the extreme left gave us Nixon, Bush and now Trump [View all]But no one bitched when he got donations from workers from Apple, Kaiser, Microsoft, Google, etc. Because people went out of their way to point out those were individual donations. But if a Democrat, who is in NY, or who comes from the north east, gets donations from people who work in the banks, oh my goodness, it's the end of the world, the sky is falling. They're evil beholden democrats. No mention of donation limits, no recognition that these are individuals who have jobs, lives, actual human beings. Not superpacs like the right wing uses.
And the left, of all people, looks at Trump's media manipulated campaign (with foreign influence) and acts as if it was some kind of populist magic, because he didn't spend as much money. Trump got $5 billion in free media coverage, for fucks sake.
It's a goddamn greek tragedy.
