I generally avoid painting them all with a single brush like that.
Some absolutely are bought off like you describe. But an awful lot are not — the big problem we’ve had is that the contingent of the bought off Democrats plus the Republicans has been enough to block meaningful action, even when the Democrats have had a nominal majority.
I dislike this comparison because it invokes a circular reasoning / begging the question fallacy:
What we are debating is whether all billionaires are bad. Then you raise a comparison trying to prove they’re all bad by associating them with nazis.
But we haven’t yet established if the 10 billionaires around a table are all inherently evil or to the same degree to begin with.
Bill Gates or Warren Buffett are not as bad as Musk or the Waltons. At least the former believe they shouldn’t exist in the first place. So when fighting fascism we kind of need all the resources we can get.
And do you think no comparative billionaires funded the allied war machine against Hitler, himself?
Moreover can you identify a specific policy compromise where in the absence of support from Tyler Perry, Bill Gates, or Mark Cuban for example, Harris would’ve performed better in the absence of their support and funding?
Can you please explain how Tyler Perry is as deplorable as Charles or David Koch?

I’m tired of the excuse making for them. It’s like sitting at a table of 10 Nazis. Guess what? It’s 11 Nazis.
Problem with that view is that minority of the Democrats were bought off, like about 4%. And they had a hard time winning reelection as a result
Try 99% of them.
Definitely the party leaders who consistently outperform the S and P
If so, it doesn’t show up in voting records or rhetoric.

Gee who’s funding the Nazis right now (and back then)? The billionaires.
I was using the saying because it’s appropriate, but the Nazi comparison is double appropriate.
All?

The fallacy remains.

That’s what I thought.
