Something cool I found on Open Secrets:

Top Contributors, federal election data for Joe Biden, 2020 cycle

This page highlights the top contributors to Joe Biden for the 2020 presidential election cycle. For more information, click through to the page.

Bloomberg LP was the biggest donor to the Biden Campaign... with a paltry 57 and a half million dollars. Barely a fraction of what he spent upon himself as we all know but apparently a big deal for the Biden campaign.

And skim a little father down, there's Google and Youtube's Daddy... Alphabet Inc located right above the University of California. Good stuff.

So many rich people!

But it does seem the biggest investors, by sector, into the Biden Campaign are noble trading/securities firms and their executives, law firms and those perpetually "impoverished" souls in Education, Higher and otherwise.

The Democrats are the party of the bourgeoisie. The rich and self satisfied wealthy and upper middle class. This isn’t new, or surprising.

I don't mind them being the party of the rich and bourgeoisie they need a voice in our society like any one else, what I mind is the dishonesty about it, the open flirtation with socialism the constant postering of being a part of the people and looking down upon them. If we have to have a party of the aristocracy cant we at least have an honest one?

The Bourgeoisie are pointedly not aristocrats. Their money doesn’t come from land ownership. Their money mostly comes from speculation and various forms of financial chicanery.

When they advocate socialism, it is done in a way that is pointedly insincere. They absolutely despise the working class, we saw that with AOC’s remark about “canvassing the country for anti racism”.

Their champagne socialists, who will impose higher taxes on you will ensuring their own children attend the best private schools. Curiously they seem to have no problem with powerful private corporations so long as they police what people can and can not say in a way they find congenial.

Ironically conservatives today are the party of the lower middle and working class.

Tradition historically restrains the averace and greed of people, it puts limits on the abuses people can get away with. So its not surprising.

Modern socialism is a plain case of buying the votes of lower classes with public money.
Buying them with their private money would have been horribly unaffordable.

Hardly any rich today are rich off land ownership. It's just not the pre-industrial era anymore.

That kind of dismissal of the specific natures of their sources of income does no good for your analysis or its perception. They can have quite different interests on individual level.

As China and Third Reich prove, socialist ruling classes and big business can come to a mutually beneficial understanding in form of state capitalist and corporatist style systems.
The true believer socialists who for this or other reasons fit neither in government or business ruling structures for a pseudo-priesthood class that arranges "grassroot" support for that duopoly with financial and legal support from the former according to largely their own pet peeves and fancies of "changing society for the better", as long as they don't go wild enough to hurt these two important group's members or interests on any large scale. In the west that's activist journos, NGOs and various progressive causes' activists, in China its the large number of less rich and vital party officials.
