6. ANY amount for Democrats like Newsom means that Newsom and democracy do have rich benefactors.

Add to Soros' $10 million the other $30 million from Labor unions, a national Democratic PAC, and wealthy liberals, and we've got a shot to beat the Proj 2025 oligarchs who are tearing down good and just government.

Right now taking an anti-billionaire stand won't help us win our democracy back.
Throwing out the billionaire baby with the Musk/Ellison bath water is irrational.

Righteousness alone will not keep democracy alive.
Soros and Newsom are part of the solution, not part of the problem.
THIS is the system we've been handed.
I, for one, welcome any billionaires in that system who sustain all pro-democracy fights.
Soros is billionaire for Good.

And I look forward to voting for one of IL's billionaires, Governor JB Pritzker.
