Liberals did all that. The actual leftists have been saying for decades that this was exactly where liberal centrism was going to end up as the Democrats did everything they could to keep funneling money up to the top as well.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Its either the liberals or the billionaires. Pick one

I am speaking from underneath the shattered remains of whatever our overton window has been. I had a good idea of the differences between liberals, progressives, leftists and so on... but more and more I am realizing that in America at least, during this period of our history, that the definitions of who is what have been deliberately smashed and spread across the field like roadkill.
All that said, I have a lot of criticism against the left as well as liberals broadly, a lot of people have been duped into becoming re- er, mentally handicapped and are out there chasing the wrong problems and spending their energy in the stupidest ways.
Such as attacking people online who should be your ally but you're too hung up on finding what separates you. This is literally handing victory to your enemies but people seem to delight in attacking their own team because spaces have cordoned themselves off and nobody actually engages with their real opponents anymore.
