Beware of billionaires positioning themselves as your friend

I like how Mark Cuban pretends to be anti Trump now

He barely pretends. The only wealthy people I trust are those that leverage the *entirety* of their wealth to helping others and fighting the system that allowed them to become wealthy in the first place. Which is to say, not one god damn one of them.

Really good to see behind the scenes. I was so disappointed with that campaign.

wickdchiq.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is what I’ve been saying for a while. People need to stop this “she ran a perfect campaign” nonsense. She ran as a republican and wondered why she lost democrats who stayed home

emgeekay.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes, she did not run on a progressive policy platform, and the campaign failed completely to commit to ending the genocide in Gaza.

I never trusted this guy. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Has he fed the hungry yet? Or is he just chitchatting? Shelter? Let him open up his home. He’s the Joel Osteen of billionaires

He has a cheap online pharmacy to his credit.

Blaming him for Harris losing is rich, excuse the pun.

It must’ve been Liz Cheney then

I think it’s due to a crappy, uninformed, misogynistic electorate myself.

wickdchiq.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sure. But they can’t all be that. She lost almost every demographic in virtually all states. She lost Michigan because of Gaza.
She ran the same campaign as Hillary did against the same candidate.
She promised more of the same in an age of affordability
She adopted Republican policies
I mean…

That certainly all contributed to the voter apathy on the left. I never accounted for the latter though. Incredibly disappointing.

wickdchiq.bsky.social•37 days ago

We’re all disappointed. I am too. I am not trying to downplay her efforts . She had bad advice and advisors

YES! Thank you! Everybody seems to forget he’s. *BILLIONAIRE*. And though not as loud as the others, still super problematic.

I feel like he’s worse because of he has better rhetoric
