More than a dozen corporate Democrats last week responded to upstart progressive wins in primaries by pledging their support to a political manifesto called “Promise to America,” which emphasizes support for capitalism, law enforcement, and “fiscal discipline.”

A Thursday report published by Sludge about the Promise to America found that it “is closely tied to the Welcome Party, a group whose PAC has received more than half of its individual contributions from billionaires.”

Is this amateur hour or something? Are the billionaires even trying?

    Is the fedihosting foundation actually elites? I didn’t like how they ran .world (and didn’t really want to have the .world label, tbh 😅) so I eventually found a new home, but I don’t actually know much about them behind the scenes

    Have fun doing a deep dive!

      Thats actually the stuff I changed instances over, though I’d been meaning to for ages and just hadn’t made up my mind about the replacement

      I knew they suck, but when you said elite I thought you meant they’re powerful rich people with status that shapes society. Though they certainly shape a lot of the threadiverse :/
