…statistically speaking, I’d probably be a Democrat.
the party of the rich, contra popular opinion, is not the Republican Party. The super-rich love the Democrats. Think about how Democrats fund their campaigns. 17 of the 25 top donors to outside advocacy groups in the U.S. are putting their big bucks behind the Democrats. Think names like George Soros and Peter Lewis and you get my drift. And rich liberals run for office often and when they do they spend a lot of money to get elected. (Think Ned Lamont in Connecticut in today’s election.) Of the five U. S. senators worth more than $25 million, four are Democrats.
And if I were a Democrat, I would really push campaign reform. It would be an easy moralistic way to hamper any opposition who consists of people who have to help each other out if they want to win elections.
PS. Like all statistical statements, this is going to totally irrelevant to the actual lives of any number of Democrats. My real point here is that we should be hugely suspicious of campaign reform. Other than that, join any political party you want. I don’t care much one way or another beyond a couple of rather important issues (for example: killing babies with legal impunity).
