Billionaire’s Row Buys Big, Beautiful, Biden Cabinet
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris enjoyed immense support from America’s billionaire class. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren look on, helpless.

Back in February, Barack Obama shared the same conclusion as any sober observer: The Democratic Party was no longer the party of Joe Biden, but of the progressive wing helmed by Senators Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
They had it all but sewn up until the Democratic establishment collapsed the field and slow-walked the unlikely Joe Biden to the nomination.
In typical fashion, progressive Democrats capitulated the moment opportunity dressed itself in overalls and looked like work, instead rolling over for a tickle of promises and concessions and Biden’s talk of an “FDR-sized†progressive administration.
The ceasefire lasted all of six months. Over the summer, the progressive wing strained major policy concessions through the establishment limestone via the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force, crafting the most progressive platform since the party ran George McGovern in 1972.
Progressive Democrats earned a few substantial wins. U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) Green New Deal moderated into the Biden Plan, and progressives won accommodations on their criminal justice, education, immigration, healthcare, and economic proposals.
