you can be sure that billionaires will start bribing them to vote in their favor on any bill that might take a single dime from them.

So, yes, the attitude of Democrats then should be "FU Republicans and billionaires!! We have a mandate!"

I'm afraid that too many Dems, or just enough of them, will take the bribe and give the People lip-service while stuffing their pockets with cash and voting in favor of those billionaires.

It's why I want progressive Democrats, not corporate/establishment Democrats.
