One of the incredibly terrifying aspects of a potential Bernie Sanders nominee is his plan for a “forced government takeover of a large section of the American economy,” so it was nice to see billionaire Tom Steyer call him out over it:
Senator Sanders has identified the problem with our economy, but his solutions are wrong. Unchecked capitalism has failed, but the answer is not a forced government takeover of a large section of the American economy. (1/2)

According to Steyer, we need a “corporate takeover of our government,” whatever that means:
Instead, we need to end the corporate takeover of our government, make sure the people write the rules and not the wealthy and big corporations, and unlock the innovation and competition of the American economy. (2/2)

But then he said … HOLY F*** what are we reading?
“I will use the Executive emergency powers of the presidency to tell companies how they can generate electricity, what kind of cars they can build, what kind of buildings we’re gonna have…”
Watch for yourselves
SC voter says she is ‘terrified” of climate change.
STEYER: “I will use the Executive emergency powers of the presidency to tell companies how they can generate electricity, what kind of cars they can build, what kind of buildings we’re gonna have…”

Tell us why Steyer is less of an authoritarian than Bernie? If anything, this could be worse:
Will he also use the emergency powers of the president to expropriate the kulaks? https://t.co/kmG92amo6K

One someone tells you who they are, believe them:
It's refreshing when these fascists reveal themselves, isn't it?
