hehe, that's cute, but is that actually based on anything?

serious question, i genuinely don't know. have there been any racist sentiments expressed by bernie's supporters concerning biden winning the black vote, or is that pure fiction?
i'm asking because i don't think it's entirely impossible (obviously not widespread, but maybe singular cases), but i honestly haven't heard of any.

He was obviously a reality television star who inherited his wealth and did much worse than if he had just invested in S&P 500 companies. He ran as a right wing populist focusing on white identity politics like less money for social services, restricted immigration from brown countries, taking funds from public education, and continued aggressive criminal prosecution of blacks in America, though he stops short of his friend Guiliani, who has been a special envoy for this administration.

And 2016 he is a billionaire with inherited wealth who is promising to clean up the problems created by billionaires with inherited wealth. He is a reality TV star and republicans love reality TV stars or television stars, such as Fred Thompson and Ronald Reagan, so it was a natural fit. The people who vote for the Republican party are the same people who are really into dancing with the stars.

The S&P talking point assumes hes worth as much as he says he is, which he almost certainly isnt. His valuation is all based on private companies and they don't exactly turn their books over to Forbs so they can make lists.

Trump didn't need money with the unlimited free press they gave him 24-7 while ignoring almost all other candidates.

yes, they did incredulously convey his message, but it was on such a scale he didnt need the advertising money HRC did. even HRC herself spent a large amount of ad money making a case against trump, rather than for herself.

the difference between corporate mindsets about Trump and Bernie is massive. Trump is a wildcard, Bernie is a potential trump card. i'll take one off the stack over a loss any day. basically, HRC vs Trump was largely a win-win from a policy standpoint, Trump vs Bernie is a win-lose.

Joe Biden right now

does any of this refute my points though?

either way: during the 2016 campaign, corporate america couldnt be sure that a Trump presidency would turn out fine for them. HRC vs Trump, from their point of view, was the choice between a guaranteed win on policy (HRC) and taking a 50:50 or perhaps 60:40 gamble (Trump).

i'd say it challenges how we define support, definitions cant really be refuted as they're arbitrary in this context. Did HRC get the vocal support of the oligarchy via media and more corporate donors? yes. but that's not all support is.

as to corporations looking at Trump as a 50:50 candidate, strongly disagree. he was pro tax cuts and pro deregulation. his vague calls for getting "tough on Ghina" weren't going to offset a major tax decrease for the corporations. obviously China was a concern, but there were so many signals showing he'd have some real positives for corporations. but in 2016 if a corporation voiced this they got #boycott____ trending and a stock selloff.

Trump received the same corporate support that he did a silent voting block. obviously not at the exact same ratio, but the concept is the same.
