mark zuckerberg wants ubi for the same reason that other billionaires like warren buffet and elon musk want it: they realize that one day people will be pushed so far to the margins by their actions that there will be a revolt and they will be eaten. so they want to push a pittance of money to the poor and placate us. gently caress that noise

Yea, rip.

Update: 5/25/2017 11:47PM

Things aren't getting better for Quist. With almost 250K votes in, Gianforte has cleared 50% and leads by 6%. Likely not enough of Missoula to save Quist.

well he clearly did worse than the incumbent democratic governor who beat gianforte

he will likely do better than the last democratic house challenger, who lost by 15 points

is this just ads or all spending? if the latter, i'm sure quist's campaign would have loved some gotv funds

If only Quist had run to the center and maybe spat on a blogger he'd have won.

So does Quist give a positive for Progressives running in red states or a negative?

actually they have a better graph in the article that shows the top 5 spenders in the race as:

Congressional Leadership Fund
National Republican Congressional Committee
Republican National Committee
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
National Rifle Association
Progressive Turnout Project

clearly Quist's platform of single payer wasn't left enough. Democrats need to run on full NHS nationalization.

hard to say without the final results, it's looking worse than expected though (baseline expectation, IMO, was ~5 point win for Gianforte)

if only the dems had run an unlovable effete triangulating policy wonk from DC rather than a local folk musician they would have crushed the montana special election...

fair enough, although again, first spender was a superpac, and we're supposedly nominally against the DNC/DCCC because who are they fundraising from to be able to be outside spending anyway
