One of the two democrats mentioned is from our district in western Washington and is the only dem I’ve ever voted for in my 62 years on this planet.
They support republicans.
Steyer is also giving tons of money to try to unseat Maine’s TEA Party governor, Paul LePage.
He’s invested a lot more than that.
They support liberal leaning Republicans it seems... aren’t they pro-amnesty and pro-gay marriage?
To the left, 0.0000000000001% republican leaning is too much.
This guy is a total putz. I know his brother and he's just as screwy.

It’s fine with everyone ONLY because he is a huminist progressive democrat. One million is about $1 to these creeps.
It is no different at all. I marvel that some call the Koch’s “Patriots”. They are not. They are enemies. Right, Left it doesn’t matter ... America is being sold at a fire sale thanks to Citizens United. The billionaires merely pretend they are on different sides.
Small investment. Steyer expects to make tens of billions - maybe hundreds of billions - from a carbon tax/carbon credits trading scheme.
