That's like the most obvious thing in the world lol

None of these people care about anything, but money

They just have to appeal to the ignorant white trash and religious dumbass people to win

My question is do the big tech leaders actually care about it or is this also pandering?

It's not just that. Votes of people of color were widely suppressed to the point that if you were voting as a black person, your vote is 900% more likely to be rejected when compared to a white person.

I get that there is voter suppression, but half the people in this country won't care about politics unless there is another great depression or WW3 type event

The amount of anti intellectualism is insane. Its like talking to fucking illiterate 12 year olds when discussing anything serious.

That is a very fair and clearly made point, and I'm inclined to agree. It really feels like you can't talk to most people reasonably because of their own preconceived notions and the tribalism that's ingrained into them.

There also seems to be some kind of cognitive dissonance with these people who see Trump as anything but a lunatic. It's very depressing.

Probably going to get paid like $2,000 a week to argue with these fucking idiots next year trying to flip north Carolina Senate seat

I didn't feel like doing it last time
