https://www.thoughtco.com/members-of-congress-supported-by-facebook-3367615quote:Zuckerberg's large donation to Democrats and his criticism of Trump have led some to the conclusion that the Facebook CEO is a Democrat. But Zuckerberg did not contribute to anyone in the 2016 congressional or presidential races, not even Democrat Hillary Clinton. quote:Sean Eldridge: Zuckerberg contributed the maximum $5,200 to the Republican U.S. House candidate’s campaign committee in 2013. Eldridge is husband of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, according to the National Journal. quote:The Facebook PAC raised nearly $350,000 in the 2012 election cycle. It spent $277,675 supporting federal candidates; Facebook spent more on Republicans ($144,000) than it did on Democrats ($125,000). I'm thinking independent run if he runs. He's donated to too many Republicans to survive waltzing in to a Democratic primary potentially full of names like Sanders, Warren, or Biden. (Or even a Hillary, "Miss me yet?" 2020 attempt) He fails both the leftist and centrist purity tests. He can't win a Republican primary when basically his only solid political position is disagreeing with Trump on immigration. But he will win if he runs as an independent. Especially if he really wants to legalize it. FuriousxGeorge has issued a correction as of 11:43 on Jun 27, 2017 |

The only impediment to him winning as an independent is deciding not to run. This isn't because he is in any way good or anything. (Besides wanting to legalize it, which makes him objectively superior to the Democratic party) Any seen by the media as credible candidate with enough funding to run an independent national campaign organization who tells the parties to gently caress off is going to win as long as their vision isn't a centrism that molds the worst of both worlds*. The voters want change. They tried the D version. They are trying the R version. They hate both. Give them a credible "I" and they will try it. This is the same reason Bernie has a shot. The country isn't ideologically left, but we will try anybody other than the current status quo right now because nearly everybody agrees it's all a giant cesspool of suck. *Not loving Bloomberg FuriousxGeorge has issued a correction as of 07:54 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Feldegast42 posted:I'm guessing that the country won't have a good reaction when they try the (I) and find out its a warmed over combination of the worst parts of what both the (D)'s and (R)'s are selling. Someone like Zuck isn't going to be as bad as the worst parts of the Rs. When you pile on the social conservatism you are objectively worse. If he's the worst part of the Ds plus legal pot, then at least we have legal pot. I'm not sure on that though, because he hasn't actually said that as far as I can tell. He just said marijuana enforcement is racist. He could mean "Arrest more white potheads." e: Actually now that I think of it I don't think Zuck can win. Country won't be able to imagine him as CINC of the military. Someone like Trump can exploit that. FuriousxGeorge has issued a correction as of 04:08 on Jun 29, 2017 |

I definitely had less than zero conception of the possibility that Trump could win. But not for that reason, no. He's a loud aggressive reckless douchebag, it's easy to imagine a President like that.

Freaking Crumbum posted:lol in no scenario does the US look at zuck, after four years of tromp insanity, and say "there's no way this guy could be the CIC of the military! he wouldn't even threaten our closest foreign allies with nuclear annihilation because of the imaginary enemies and perceived slights that haunt his psyche every waking moment" He's a 5′ 7″ nerd.
