Warren Buffet has been pointing this out for at least 20 years. Bill Gates for at least 6. It’s crazy how the most famous billionaires haven’t moved the needle.

Their major misstep is failing to purchase every major social media outlet in the country like the conservatives have.

For every billionaire that agrees, 99 other billionaires disagree. 1 billionaire isn't gonna win a fight against 99 billionaires

Edit: And also because they are Millionaires, much less influence lol
