Wall Street Democratic donors warn the party: We’ll sit out, or back Trump, if you nominate Elizabeth Warren
- Thread starter Scrooge
- Start date
Curiously, how is Warren comparing with other Democratic nominees in terms of fundraising? NOt donor count, but dollar amount. I thought she was doing fairly well, near the top.
Something tells me this is either bull shit, a bluff, or a handful of idiots.
Wall Street Donors backed Clinton over Trump in 2016, and it didn't matter.

"On the one hand, I'm against Trump's throwing-Mexican-babies-in-ovens policy.
On the other hand, that 2% wealth tax is higher than my actual shenanigans-adjusted tax rate.
Fuck Liz."

Warren would be the most financially literate president we've ever had by far. Wall Street fears her because she understands their business better than many of them do.
recessions don't hit the impact the rich as much and they have been given ample time to prepare. And they will have lots of cash to buy up things cheap during the fallout of the recession.
When can we start eating the rich?
Also like many have said earlier, this is just going to help Warren even more with the average voter.

And there you have it, democracy is a sort of illusion for the masses, it is big money interests picking the candidates that sing the tune closest to THEIR hearts. If you believe in democracy and fairness nobody should be able to stand for this. To equate someone's bank balance to their worth and to their democratic 'weight' is a vile corruption of the very notion of democracy. Might as well just go back a couple hundred years to Victoria times when the poor and women couldn't vote at all. At least then we'd know where we all stand.
Well said, the very fact that there's an article like this about a few Wall Street executive donors and not about a few people in a swing state says it all.
These articles can be annoying when they don't name names because less than 2 months ago we had Wall Street donors favor Warren over the possible frontrunners and was contrasting her with Sanders.
"A Warren presidency would slightly delay the purchase of my third vacation home? Welp, may as well support Trump, this injustice cannot stand..."
She was having issues early on with the self-inflicted nuke (which may have turned out to have worked out on accident just by ripping the Band-Aid, even if it didn't go as planned) and was heavily relying on her transferred Senate campaign funds she had stashed away for a good bit. That probably has changed now.
Don't worry, they're liberals and Democrats so they must be good.
Get elected, destroy them all with oversight, tax increases, closing loop holes and generally having a good time while doing it.
