'Anti-Billionaire Progressive Group' Shatters Irony Detectors After Endorsement in Calif. Gov Race

Doug P. | 9:15 PM on April 20, 2026

The primary in the race for the next governor of California will take place in June. Eric Swalwell dropping out has scrambled the Democrat side of the equation a little bit, and some on the progressive side have chosen irony as the only option.

That's where "Our Revolution" has gained some notice after their primary endorsement:

JUST IN: Anti-billionaire progressive group "Our Revolution" officially endorses Tom Steyer for California governor.

Well, that's an interesting turn of events:

I’m honored to receive @OurRevolution endorsement, and as Governor, I’ll work tirelessly to realize our shared vision of a California that works for working people. https://t.co/kXquvzhu8Y

"Anti-billionaires for billionaires... but just this once!"

We can't wait to see anti-billionaire Bernie Sanders campaigning for billionaire Tom Steyer before too long.

To put it mildly.

As it turns out, irony is not dead. https://t.co/CuXZ53ksxe

It's very much alive.

I guess billionaires are good now? https://t.co/xsyRbAbtOM

But just this one time. Just this ONE time.

It’s (D)ifferent when the billionaires are in their party.

So the "billionaires are bad" thing is bulls**t as long as certain billionaires are on the "correct" side. Note taken.
