Tom Steyer as a "progressive" and "liberal" and "leftist" politician?

The "climate activism" seems to be a bargain-bin costume. Underneath is $$$ and only $$$.

Hell, if I were the Koch Bros. I'd be investing in exactly that. After all, such investments don't mean that I'd have to disinvest in anything.
