The FTC has been CRUSHING IT under the current leaders by actually enforcing existing rules. I hope Kamala tells those donors to pound sand.

Just them going after Adobe is enough for Kamala to get my vote. Fuck Adobe.
I’d say she’s been trying, but I don’t know that anything has been achieved yet. Still an improvement over what we had before.
Between this and her stance on Isreal Harris has excellent tools to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Please, Harris, fucking endorse popular positions... you'll coast into the white house.
You may have forgotten, in this party, winning is less important than pleasing the billionaires.
As someone who voted for Hillary... believe me I have no doubts the depths of self-destruction democrats will go to to please donors.
this ~~party~~ electoral system.
Trump also caved to billionaires immediately despite all of his rhetoric.
Edit: it's kind of whataboutism but I'm just pointing out the real problem.

These motherfuckers own the world, and that's not even enough.
They are mentally ill.
If forced institutionalized wards become a thing again (hope not), the 1% better be the first through the doors.
Ppl were celebrating Kamala raising $300 million in another post yesterday. We should NEVER applaud money in politics. IT IS A BRIBE. Keeping money out of American politics should be up there with universal health care. Regardless of the fact Republicans have more mega donors Democrats are still indebted to their mega donors. Applauding for having less mega donors is like applauding a criminal for only having one victim.
Isn't the vast majority donations from regular folks contrary to (most) Republicans? I know Trump gets money left and right but I don't think it's technically going to the party/his campaign...
Don't they have enough money yet?!
Are they not, ever, going to be satisfied? Does a tiny little modicum of restraint upset them that much?
(don't answer that!)
It's a Shame the Potentially First Female President and ONLY Person who can save the world from Fascism is about to Publicly Endorse the FIRING of the ONLY people in Government holding Billionaires accountable. But there's literally NOTHING else she can do! What is she supposed to tell her Billionaire donors NO? That would be SILLY!

Oh so they want her to lose
I expect they already got what they want, killing progressive enthusiasm and getting her to publicly back off wealth tax rates
Monied elites don't like them, they're doing something right. RTA. Sure enough, that's why.
And step to the right.
Crypto bro here. Gensler has been doing an amazing job. He's been going after the scams and consistently applying the same Howey Test we've had for a century. It is perfectly clear in this case; the Howey deniers are bullshitting us because they have invested financially and emotionally in scams.
Rich people trying to run the country for their own profit.
Capitalism
Dollars to doughnuts they are both working to close the loop holes the 1% are abusing through both of their organizations to infinitely short the stock market. Fight on you radical monkeys. Fight on.
