Yeah, this is more like a democrat wish list, donating to help polices that the electorate didn't want.


abortion rights did amazingly well even in states that supported trump...

the other issues are:

* child hunger

* veteran support

* censorship

* financial literacy

so I guess the unpopular ones in your eyes are...

* civil rights

* lgbtq rights

* immigration

hard to give a blanket "democrat wishlist" when more than half are generally favorable across party lines


Going through the list:

* child hunger - Global rather than US-focussed.

* veteran support - OK

* censorship - Ish. The campus free speech stuff looks OK, but there is the usual culture war "book banning" by preventing sexually explicit material been shown to young children.

* financial literacy - OK

* civil rights - a lot of it looks like the Soros-funded lenient DA stuff

* lgbtq rights - I think the main flashpoint is the "t" in that acronym

* immigration - obviously contentious, even within right wing circles


right, so hardly a "democrat wishlist" then


The author engages in classism, yet he is a multimillionaire funding things the voters rejected.
