But I've gotten the impression that many many Democratics do not like affluent, rich, and wealthy people. So - perhaps they are crawling away? Sarandon being the ONE exception - as i understand it she has a net worth of about $15 million dollars.

The moment they donate to a candidate that candidate gets branded as an establishment insider funded by the coastal elite. The moment they disagree w/ any Democratic policy they get branded as the evil 1% only thinking for themselves.

And let's not forget that two of the biggest platforms, the Oscars and the Golden Globes, have been used to speak out against Trump.

Do you want them to be issuing daily press releases responding to Trump's actions?

Amal Clooney is a human rights attorney and the abuse she took - including on this board - for hosting a fundraiser was unreal.
