Democratic Senator #RubenGallego (#Arizona) did a $5,000 a plate dinner with broligarch /Nerd Reich billionaire #MarcAndreessen and Matt Yglesias at the same time as #AOC and #BernieSanders were doing their recent rally in #Tucson.
The US Congress has been captured by the industry on both sides, not just the Republicans. Gallego was one of the largest recipients of the money laundering industry's - sorry, i mean "the crypto industry's" - financial support in the 2024 election. He's a disaster for the country.
@cryptadamist It feels like democrats have two heads, the capitalists and the socialists.
@Sibshops realistically there's not too many socialists, if that's even the right word (what america calls "socialism" is basically just FDR New Dealism). Bernie's the only one in the Senate and there's maybe like 5 people in the house out of ~215.
most of the democratic party is centrist capitalist, but now there's a large wing, maybe 1/3rd of the caucus, that's in the pocket of the crypto money laundering industry.
