I checked my Bluesky politics feed which is sorted by likes. This post by Ryan Cooper was the top post and it has a link to the NYT article.
The thread is filled with liberal whining. It's funny how they ridiculed Bernie for having small donors. It's as if libs - for all their high falutin principles - actually have no principles at all.
how do you think he got elected in the first place
What is killing me is that even on a superficial level - these sorts of lib arguments make no sense at all. It's insane to think Biden is an actual populist. And nobody wants to back a loser. Why would the rich give a lot money to somebody they thought was going to lose? The rich always want a quid pro quo. They want to back a winner so they can get a sweet return on their investment - erm - I mean donation. This is the simplest fundamental stuff from Capitalism-slash-Democracy 101.
