> The sheer anger voters feel was enough to overwhelm these efforts Tuesday, nearly without exception (the one main outlier: A billionaire wealth tax ballot measure in California looks likely to fail after billionaires spent $379 million lobbying to kill it, outspending the opposition 250-to-1, with many billionaires threatening to move their companies and themselves out of the state). Given this, it should not be taken for granted that elections can or will always go this way, and Democrats need to show that they are not scared of governing.

Perhaps this instead shows that voters do not recognize the author's proposed Altman-Musk-Zuckerberg axis and were not making their decision based on it.
