Bill could just as easily embrace Judaism since his mother is Jewish. According to Jewish law if the mother is Jewish then the child is Jewish. His father was Catholic, thus explaining his Catholic upbringing. Personally, I doubt that he will ever become religious.
He did. In 2016 he told Bernie, if you run again, I will support you. He was a big Bernie fan. If I remember correctly, he was a Hillary supporter until Bernie gained steam, then he switched to Bernie, but then happily backed Hillary once she got the nomination. After Trump's election, he's totally flipped and now is worried about the Bernie wing of the party turning voters off. In a way, he's partially right, but he still supports a lot of the same policies he did in 2016. Hes just unhappy with some of the craziness among progressives, the SJW type stuff. Dumb culture war stuff is what the avg voter cares about because they dont know anything about the more complex aspects of politics, and it turns them off. Most progressives aren't this way, but enough are, and they're causing problems for both progressives and Democrats as a whole. He just wanted to beat Trump, and he thought the moderates gave Democrats the best shot at beating him. Im a Bernie fan, but I think he's right. I think Bernie would've beaten Trump in 2016, but the constant red baiting against him turned his positive favorability rating nationally in 2016 into a negative one in 2020.
He did say Bernie first and if he fails to win then you take 2nd option. Heck, I'm fairly sure he has said he would take Romney and McCain easily over Trump.
Listen to Nick Hanauer, one of the super-rich who is warning his peers that the pitchforks are coming if they keep hoarding their wealth to no purpose just because they can -- for now.
Exactly right. Examples: Romania’s Ceausescu shot, Mussolini beaten and hung upside down, Ferdinand Marcos ousted in disgrace and Imelda had to leave her thousands of shoes behind, Momar Qaddafi beaten to death, Marie Antoinette who said let them eat cake, The French revolution, the Russian revolution, Martin shkreli the guy who raised prices for Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill and is now in prison etc. etc. etc. and I predict Donald Trump will eventually suffer some kind of similar disgrace. Hopefully before it’s too late.

That’s what being rich means
Meine Namen not necessary. Lot of countries have rich people with making the rest of the country poor. But whatever
Rich people whose primary interest is their own richness, instead of the people they work for (us, the public/taxpayers)
It’s not a matter of how much the “haves” have, it’s how little the “have nots” have
Rich people don't own money. Rich people own capital, the means of productions, the places where we live, the actions of our daily lives
