THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Gonna be honest - the fact that some people in this sub-forum still care about "finding a person to vote for to be president" is pretty pathetic and only really makes sense if, deep down, they're still in denial and want to feel like they did when Bernie was running. But it's like an adult saying "yeah I know Santa isn't real, but I still want to support the Hanukkah Elf*, just for fun and laughs!" but deep down you know they're gonna be waiting with bated breath for the Elf to enter their window on the first night of Hanukkah.

And if you insist on doing it, at least do it for someone who's an actual communist. Or at least not a social democrat. Doing a protest vote for a social democrat is just sad. Isn't the whole point supposed to be "voting for what you actually believe"?

Or if your goal is to just piss off the libs - say you're voting for Trump! Trying to piss them off by voting for a third-party social democrat is just a lame half-measure.

He should have kept the money and said "when I'm president guys like Harlan Crowe are all going to jail for bribery, and his own money will help put him there"

What is this a bloo bloo he's my brother he can have his money back, happy now you meanies bullshit.

Might as well vote for Biden if I want to hear about how nice the evil rich bastards who gave him money are

Couldn't you say this same kind of thing about literally any political candidate

I'm not sure that "well the other politicians also suck" is a very convincing argument to support someone

(Also as someone else mentioned, the most embarrassing part of his statement was the shoe-horned in "tyrants like Stalin and Mao"; I don't expect positive statements from American leftists, but it's bad when someone is bringing up their opposition to communism unprompted)
