Where did I say the DA was a bad thing? I love the DA. But this myth that all the billionaires are on the conservative side is just that, a myth.

If 2 billionaires on the conservative side (the Koch brothers) is going to be treated as a major threat to progressive agendas, then the fact that progressives have dozens of millionaires, billionaires and liberal organizations working together under the umbrella of the DA should make people feel better. But it should also show that a handful of billionaires cannot totally control the country.

Labor alone put 450 million into the 2008 election cycle. Not to mention millions of man hours. The Koch brothers have probably put under 100 million into politics in 30 years. This concept that a handful of conservative billionaires is some major threat doesn't scare me because of that. Labor alone puts more money into politics in one election cycle than dozens of conservative billionaires do in a decades.

Point is, liberals have our own billionaires.
