Why Bernie Sanders Is Thanking Elon Musk.
Billionaire Elon Musk's massive financial influence in the 2024 election is a stark reminder of the oligarchic society we live in, Sen. Bernie Sanders argued.
Saved you a click: The Vermont senator said Musk has done "an exceptional job of demonstrating a point that we have made for years—and that is the fact we live in an oligarchic society."
Thanks. I hate click bait headlines. “You won’t BELIEVE what Sanders said about Musk!!”
Appreciate it 👍
You ratio'd the post. A rare feat.
You could have chosen to not share this misleading headline
This community has a matching headline rule, not sure if it's enforced though.
Nowhere did I suggest posting the garbage article with an adjusted headline.
A person is not obligated to share an article with a misleading headline in the first place.
For you to equate practicing responsible journalism with breaking rules must mean you're not simply an idiot; you're an active enabler of misinformation, and blocking you would be a net-positive act.
These headlines/news never reach republicans. We are in two complete different Internets.
Sanders (I-Vt.) thanked Musk for doing "an exceptional job of demonstrating a point that we have made for years—and that is the fact we live in an oligarchic society in which billionaires dominate not only our economic life and the information we consume, but our politics as well."
"And let me be clear. While the size of Musk's financial contribution is particularly egregious, he is not alone in attempting to buy this election to further his own needs," Sanders continued. "Other billionaires are also playing a significant role—in both political parties. Oh, I know... here goes Bernie Sanders again about Citizens United and the role of money in politics. I have no shortage of critics who accuse me of being boring and of hammering away at the same themes year after year after year."
"They're probably right. I am repetitious, but that’s because the problems we care about are only getting worse," he added. "Let's be clear. It has never made sense to me, then or now, that a tiny clique of people should have incredible wealth and power while most people have none."
