I was always told that billionaires are so caught up in their work and are constantly making money and hustling. This man has more time on his hands than a homeless dude. And he owns like 4 companies? Just goes to show that this is all part of the mythologizing of wealthy people and in their boredom they develop the most perverse self perspective that idolizes themselves. They also surround themselves with yes men who help perpetuate their ego until it grows out of control and turns them into fascists.
Just a thought.
This. Cornel west and Jill Stein are not options in this. If you live in a safely blue state, go ahead vote your heart out.
But just know that there is no scenario where West or Stein win. If that doesn't happen and Trump wins, we will not have another election. Trump is literally going to put the most evil anti democracy zealots into very powerful roles. And with a Republican scotus, we will be fucked. That is the outcome here. So you can be pragmatic or vote your conscience but the risk is that we will be fucked.
If there's one thing that 2016/2020 should have taught us is; presidential elections matter not just because of who is leading the country but who is selecting judges and filling very important roles in the government. Ultimately, our lesson should be that things can always get worse.
