American billionaires have long placed their thumbs on the scale of democracy—but never like this.

Welcome to the oligarch election.
Shitstain hypocrite Magoos cried rivers over Twitter when faux news wouldn't shut up about their "bias" but now that one of their own has control it all radio silence...
Absolutely fucking absurd how people who rile over the concept of "elites" running the country are ok with two "billionaires" doing it...
I blame SCOTUS for this. They've signaled they are going after regulatory agencies, so the American oligarchy sees this as their chance to finally remove their various businesses from any accountability or oversight. Just look at how hard they're going after Lina Khan- in fact, when was the last time you could name an FTC commissioner off the top of your head?
We're in the middle of the Business Plot 2, and they're spending billions to neuter the government's ability to stop them.
But, and hang with me here, Presidential Elections have a really low R.O.I. Any sensible billionaire knows that the quality investments are in Senators. Once you get one of them elected the chance of them loosing reelection is very low and yet any one of them can put an indefinite hold on any piece legislation and they really have a hold on getting the right kind of people on the courts. Really they should be spending their money more wisely.
/sYou're not wrong, no /s needed. You can look up "campaign donations" and cross reference their undying support. Most politicians are bought for around $10k/election.
Good thing he’s pathetic and no one respects him except catturd2 and 7 year-olds who think he makes the spaceships.
They used to have their thumb on the scale, now they stand on it
They have no right to have more of a voice.
