Everyone talking about billionaires and how they endorse, support, finance, fund, hold lotteries to influence an election and everyone still thinks they exist in a democracy.
It's an oligarchy or a plutocracy
Call it whatever you want ... but it certainly isn't a democracy
File this under "why billionaires should not exist".
In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used “improper pressure ... “to harm his perceived political enemy” Bezos.
That doesn't really matter. They were just trying to use the system to get more tax cuts and passes.
Kamala wants to raise taxes on the rich 4+%, while Trump wants to lower them by ~1.5% (again). These asshole would want to see Trump harm americans and destroy the system for a few extra % in their pocket.
Loving the 8k+ comments of people cancelling their subscription.
I saw the first three words of this post and was like, "HOLY SHIT! FINALLY!!"
Dude, same. I almost wanted to stop reading there.
Putin overseeing:
Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Trump, The entire GOP.
Bernie was never more right about the billionaires
Yeah but why didnt DNC let him run in 2016?
Coward is afraid of Trump exacting retribution if he wins. Fucking megacoward.
Nooooooo but there's no record of him donating money to trump's campaign therefore he can't be said to be supporting truuuuuuuump Noooooooooo
Key pull quote from TFA:
Post chief executive Will Lewis, in an online explanation of the decision, wrote, “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election.”
“We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” Lewis wrote.
“We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” he wrote. “That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects.”
The Richest People on EARTH supporting Trump is PROOF that the Middle Class will be BETTER under Trump! Jeff Bezos and Elon Dipshit are KNOWN to Treat their Workers EXTREMELY WELL!
If Idocracy is a documentary, what does that make Elysium? It seems like we are headed that way more and more.
