      And so long as we allow billionaires to affect our elections, they are gonna keep rising… It’s fucking frustrating.

        I mean, if I had a billion dollars, it would be crazy for me not to want to engage with the political system that elevated me to this status.

        I can’t imagine a future in which someone 1000x richer than an already very wealthy individual wouldn’t have an impact on organizing, candidate promotion, GOTV, or subsequent policy making. So long as billionaires continue to exist, they’re going to have electoral consequences.
