Majority of Democrats say billionaire candidates Mike Bloomberg and Tom Steyer are "hurting" the 2020 primary race

Kamala had an atrocious record as DA and California's AG. She also went all in on....removing Trump from Twitter? She could have chosen any policy or position, but that's what she went with? C'mon. Sure, she isn't exactly an enemy to Progressives, but she sure as hell isn't an ally. She isn't pushing for Progressive Policy and she definitely isn't pushing to get corporate money out of politics, considering that's how she got her Senate seat in the first place.

Beto also imploded when he wouldn't even give a straight answer to raising the top marginal tax rate. He thought that he could spout some talking points about "building an economy that worked for all" as a viable answer. After that, his grassroots support dried up.

Buttigieg is a Neoliberal Centrist. He doesn't even hide it...he openly uses Big Pharma talking points and attacks Sanders at every chance he gets. And, he continually defends letting rich people and corporations spend more money on elections.

Yang.....Yang is generally well liked by Sanders supporters. Not sure why you're accusing them of painting him as a raging conservative.

Warren reversed her opinion on Super PAC money, so that makes her a fake progressive. She may be pushing for some progressive legislation, but she's already backtracked from M4A before the general has even gotten started, so progressives are (rightfully) wary of her, especially after she tried to accuse Sanders of being a sexist pig earlier this year.


I hate to say it, but the bar really is Bernie. Bernie is proof that you can be a true Progressive and achieve a national following at a scale not seen in decades. Progressives just aren't blind Corporate Media watchers - they know better and know how to spot fakes and sellouts.
