On their yachts in foreign ports, the billionaires are raising their champagne glasses to toast Biden's victories, as they triumph once again over the vast majority of America's working class.
Voters will once more be faced with the lesser of two evils, both firmly affixed to the teat of corporate influence. Maybe voters will go with Sleepy Joe, that doddering champion of elite financial interests. That pro-war, pro incarceration, pro financial deregulation member of the good old boys on Wall Street.
Or maybe voters will prefer a more primitive version of a corporate sellout, the reptilian current occupant of the White House. Is there a greater of two evils that even comes close to our misogynist, racist, and mendacious president?
It doesn't matter to the billionaires. The country can go to hell for everyone else, while they and their immense fortunes float freely out of reach. Biden and Trump are both long time members of that putrid swamp in Washington; they will do what they are told.
Perhaps the ultra rich will also toast their newspapers and TV news outlets for never giving Bernie a break. Did The New York Times ever have a positive word to say about him? When he was down, there was no coverage at all. When he won, its headlines called him a "threat." The billionaires know that the establishment media is their most important asset.
The oppression of the wealthy elite will only get worse. But the fight isn't over yet.
