@coldjoint,
Quote:It seems people approve of someone buying the office of president.
No, it only recognizes the efficacy and necessity of political advertising.
Buying the office would involve putting money into the hands of voters somehow...you know, like cutting taxes, ignoring the deficit, or doing both.
Quote:Not surprised, but how will progressives handle it, they hate the rich.
Is that how you define the term "progressive"? So if you have two liberal Democrats and one hates the rich and the other doesn't, then the first one is a "progressive" and the second could be called, say, a "liberal"? I ask this because I know a lot of Democratic voters who definitely do
not hate "the rich"; they may not like particular rich people but they probably don't like some poor people either. The thing about rich people is that, like everyone else, they deserve to be looked at as individuals and not part of a basket of deplorables. They're not all in lock-step with Milton Friedman and many of them spread their wealth generously and spend it constructively. I'll add that a lot of them are, of course, selfish jerks. But you find that any time you characterize a bunch of people as a group because they share one particular trait. You'd find the same thing if you looked at groupings of bicycle owners, school janitors, or Sanders supporters.
