 Big funders of No Labels include  Peter Thiel, Foster Friess, Home Depot founder Ken Langone, and Clarence Thomas's sugar daddy Harlan Crow. All Trump supporters….

Judd Legum asks,

"Is No Labels a thinly disguised effort by Wall Street and Trump supporters to deny Biden a second term?"

 @f884fa2b 'According to Nancy Jacobson, who runs the group, “what’s best for Democracy is confidentiality.”' We have so-called think tanks who use that argument in the UK. Utter doublespeak 
 @c9a2a3ba That line caught my eye, too. Isn't it the very definition of Orwellian? 
 @f884fa2b obviously YES. 
 @e7d43022 I agree! So many folks in the media want to place the blame for Trump's rise to power solely on the backs of working-class people. But he wouldn't have such robust support without the robust support of top echelons of the economic structures. 
 @f884fa2b It seems so intelligence-insultingly transparent.

So expect the media and millions of voters to fall for it.
