    At the end of 2019, one of the most surprising things to me about this year is that at a moment when the world is on fire, Joe Biden explicitly promised his big donors that if he’s elected “nothing would fundamentally change” — and this hasn’t ended his candidacy. Amazing.

    Despite signing the money pledge, continues to use loopholes to accept contributions from the fossil fuel industry and its lobbyists. “Joe Biden just doesn’t get it — where ‘it’ refers to an existential threat to humanity."

    A handful of billionaires have spent hundred of millions of dollars buying elections and politicians. Not our campaign. I'm proud that we're the only campaign to have contributions from zero billionaires. We represent working Americans, not the corporate elite.

    Pete Buttigieg calls his big donors “investors” — and he held an investment conference in a wine cave owned by people who pumped cash into politics and got themselves an ambassadorship and a federal bailout during the S&L scandal. These are facts.

    I think so many ads, extremists and politicians have used scare tactics that when the real thing pops up we just automatically tune it out. Cause this story should be creating shockwaves.

    Next time , try down-to-earth Sonoma instead of Napa. We also have wine caves with excellent wines but with less shiny items to distract voters from the real issues at hand.
