I did not bother to check if it actually exists, I actually don’t know if they would allow that specific bet. But, they are ghouls that profit off the exploitation of the powerless so I’m sure they’re working on it.
Our great Khan has done wonders for our state finances while constantly passing legislation that benefits the working class, preserves our rights, and protects marginalized communities. All while pushing back against Trump and laying groundwork for Democrats to prosecute this administration in 2029.
If you really believe that we can just elect the total collapse of American culture away, then I think you need to do some soul searching. Learn to be resilient, nobody is coming to save us.
I can’t even with you people. “Not voting” is never going to get you anything you want. Ever. You think “voting is showing my undying love for somebody!” when it’s really “Which of these assholes is going to lead to a better outcome?”
If you don’t think Pritzker would lead to a better outcome than Trump then you’re probably too stupid to figure out the voting ballot anyway.
I vote. I vote in the primaries, and the general elections, and the special elections. That doesn’t mean I’m deluded enough to believe it’s actually doing anything, but obviously harm reduction is the only path we have.
Trump is just continuing the same policies that every other president has put forward. Some times the have a D next to their name and they nicer things for social issues, and then everybody forgets that they’re also war criminals who are enacting a massive anti-immigrant deportation policy.
If you think Pritzger is any different, than you’re probably too stupid to realize you’ve been voting for all of this to happen the whole time.
Actual legitimate question. I’m not a fan of billionaires but it seems different between just being born into the family vs actually doing the exploiting yourself, add to that he seems to be at least teetering on the edge of being a class traitor.
In my opinion, it does not. He could choose to spend every penny he has on making life better for folks until he’s as poor as the rest of us. Instead he chooses to get richer.
Yeah. Mackenzie Bezos inherited her fat stacks and she’s been dropping like a stone on the wealth rankings. Inherent in the state of being a billionaire is having more money than you could ever need and not using it to help others.
I have to. But I don’t believe it will do anything. The United States is Balkanizing, and will cease to be a functional anything within the decade. Voting or not.
can’t wait to see who wins the “first sitting governor to be arrested by the Trump admin” bet on polymarket.
That thing so much needs to be extremely fucking illegal.
Fucking really? There’s a bet for that? I’m both shocked and sadly not surprised at all. Everything I hear about Polymarket betting is so appalling.
I did not bother to check if it actually exists, I actually don’t know if they would allow that specific bet. But, they are ghouls that profit off the exploitation of the powerless so I’m sure they’re working on it.
Ok fair enough. I’m choosing blissful* ignorance on this one.
*For a given value of “blissful,” given the shitshow of everything going on.
I find my little joys in my little jokes. I don’t know how much it helps, but I do enjoy it.
I couldn’t find one. The closest thing would be the running bet on when Tim Walz is being arrested and charged.
Fucking do it, I hope they arrest Pritzker. It’ll put him straight to the top of the '28 Dem candidates.
Ew, please don’t simp for billionaires

He will be the last billionaire we eat.
I’m down with eating him last, but as long as he is one of them, I’m not voting for him. There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire
Ok then enjoy president JD Vance or Marco Rubio I guess.
If you really believe that we can just elect the total collapse of American culture away, then I think you need to do some soul searching. Learn to be resilient, nobody is coming to save us.
Oh no, I’m much more cynical than that. I vote, even though I know it’s pointless.
I can’t even with you people. “Not voting” is never going to get you anything you want. Ever. You think “voting is showing my undying love for somebody!” when it’s really “Which of these assholes is going to lead to a better outcome?”

He inherited it. Does that not change things?
Actual legitimate question. I’m not a fan of billionaires but it seems different between just being born into the family vs actually doing the exploiting yourself, add to that he seems to be at least teetering on the edge of being a class traitor.

Why not?
Should we exclusively simp for candidates who don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell because they’re ideologically pure?
Nope, you should support candidates that actually care about your best interests.
So you’d vote Pritzker on a Vance/Pritzker race?
I have to. But I don’t believe it will do anything. The United States is Balkanizing, and will cease to be a functional anything within the decade. Voting or not.
I don’t know what that is and I choose to remain ignorant
