I have hope that he’s a true class traitor, but this type of bait and switch has happened before. I won’t hold my breath, but he seems promising
Similar vibe. I’m not fully convinced that any billionaire is truly looking out for working class interests, but Steyer at least has a historical track record that we can point to and use as a benchmark for what to expect. There are no good billionaires, but in a world where more and more billionaires are running for office themselves or backing non-billionaire candidates all the time, he’s probably the least bad of them.
We wouldn’t have Marx if Engels hadn’t worked against his class interests, so class traitors from the ruling class can happen. In this era of neoliberalism, I’m mostly expecting this person to be somewhat like Bernie
If he’s serious he would be better served giving lots of money to someone running on this platform who isn’t a billionaire. But I know he isn’t serious because there are no moral billionaires. There’s a very small chance this is self preservation but then you know he won’t go as far as is needed, just as far as he has to to pacify people.
