60 greedy assholes who need to pay more taxes are backing the oldest, most corrupt nominee in American history.

Also most fascist. Billionaires should not exist, and I have thoughts on the best way for those particular billionaires to not exist.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Hmm perhaps some kind of ergonomic contraption could be devised for the purpose

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Totally agree that billionaires should not exist.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago

I hate the fact that there are over 60 billionaires. I hate the fact that there is more than 0 billionaires.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago

Pushing hard for those uninformed votes, I see. Anyone with an ounce of political knowledge could tell you republican policies are never anti-establishment.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

No no, you misunderstand. It's antiesablishment of sensible laws and protections

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I dont know when I crawled into a mirror but if I could please just exit.

Trump should probably drop out of the race.

We need a website that keeps track of these billionaires' locations. It would be nice to keep an eye on our oligarchs' on a day-to-day basis.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Anti-establishment, LOL.

WTAF. Only in upside down la-la land can a guy born with a helluva silver, no, platinum, spoon in his mouth, promising even more handouts to bazillionaires, be considered "anti-establishment".

I mean of course billionaires support someone who can be easily lobbied.

[-] WhyDoYouPersist@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Elon giving simp here

The fact that this is significant and will probably influence the election as a whole shows in complete fullness that America doesn't exist in a democracy ... it's a plutocracy, an oligarchy or an aristocracy ... it definitely isn't a democracy.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

It used to be. Then Reagan got elected, and that's the point they started to dismantle everything good about our government
