WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

    Left and right are both unified on ukraine: we don’t want war.

    I would dispute this, especially on which parts of the left have positions on Ukraine, but I have zero appetite to go into in the hour that I’m posting this other than to say: the people who do not want war in Ukraine would like to see Ukraine be taken over by Russia because of anti-Americanism as a political base, and because they support fascist, imperial regimes (respectively to both sides). Neither should be catered to politically.
