Kamala Harris’ Donors Privately Urge Firing of FTC’s Khan, SEC’s Gensler
(Bloomberg) -- Major Democratic donors on Wall Street are increasingly pushing Kamala Harris’ team to replace top regulators Lina Khan and Gary Gensler if the vice president wins in November.Most Read from BloombergWorld's Second Tallest Tower Spurs Debate About Who Needs ItThe Plan for the World’s ...
The FTC has been CRUSHING IT under the current leaders by actually enforcing existing rules. I hope Kamala tells those donors to pound sand.

That's why they're saying it

That's why they're giving her the money

Lol, yeah let's just hope and pray a "moderate" will pick people over corporations...

Just them going after Adobe is enough for Kamala to get my vote. Fuck Adobe.
23I’d say she’s been trying, but I don’t know that anything has been achieved yet. Still an improvement over what we had before.

Between this and her stance on Isreal Harris has excellent tools to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Please, Harris, fucking endorse popular positions... you'll coast into the white house.
56You may have forgotten, in this party, winning is less important than pleasing the billionaires.
35As someone who voted for Hillary... believe me I have no doubts the depths of self-destruction democrats will go to to please donors.
31this
partyelectoral system.Trump also caved to billionaires immediately despite all of his rhetoric.
Edit: it's kind of whataboutism but I'm just pointing out the real problem.

I'm willing to bet they have more single issue Zionist voters to lose than single issue pro Palestinian votersthat will actually take the time to vote to win, not supporting Israel is her path to defeat, get out of your bubble.

Ppl were celebrating Kamala raising $300 million in another post yesterday. We should NEVER applaud money in politics. IT IS A BRIBE. Keeping money out of American politics should be up there with universal health care. Regardless of the fact Republicans have more mega donors Democrats are still indebted to their mega donors. Applauding for having less mega donors is like applauding a criminal for only having one victim.
37Isn't the vast majority donations from regular folks contrary to (most) Republicans? I know Trump gets money left and right but I don't think it's technically going to the party/his campaign...

These motherfuckers own the world, and that's not even enough.
37They are mentally ill.
If forced institutionalized wards become a thing again (hope not), the 1% better be the first through the doors.

Don't they have enough money yet?!
Are they not, ever, going to be satisfied? Does a tiny little modicum of restraint upset them that much?
(don't answer that!)
20Cost over a billion to beat trump last time and this time is going break the record again.
I don't understand how they're spending this much money, like I understand the answer is corruption, but I'm just amazed they have the balls to claim that much is legitimately spent on campaigning.
Most of it is probably the salaries of the people in charge of collecting donations. They're just after a commission, but Jamie Harrison got the DNC chair because he ran against a nationally hated Republican in a seat he had no chance of winning
Biden didn't care he lost the election, just that he broke records for donations. Everyone ignored the donations weren't so much for Harrison, they were against his opponent.

It's a Shame the Potentially First Female President and ONLY Person who can save the world from Fascism is about to Publicly Endorse the FIRING of the ONLY people in Government holding Billionaires accountable. But there's literally NOTHING else she can do! What is she supposed to tell her Billionaire donors NO? That would be SILLY!

Oh so they want her to lose
10I expect they already got what they want, killing progressive enthusiasm and getting her to publicly back off wealth tax rates

Monied elites don't like them, they're doing something right. RTA. Sure enough, that's why.
9And step to the right.
8Crypto bro here. Gensler has been doing an amazing job. He's been going after the scams and consistently applying the same Howey Test we've had for a century. It is perfectly clear in this case; the Howey deniers are bullshitting us because they have invested financially and emotionally in scams.

Dollars to doughnuts they are both working to close the loop holes the 1% are abusing through both of their organizations to infinitely short the stock market. Fight on you radical monkeys. Fight on.
