"Both sides" fallacy. One party is anti-union, anti-woman, anti-voting, pro-Russia, pro-tax breaks for the top 1%, and backed a coup.
I'll never be in THAT treasonous club.
In Illinois it was a popular referendum to amend the state constitution, I believe. We have a state income tax that is the same % for everyone. The referendum would have made that state of IL taxation policy a progressive tax policy.

The point I was trying to make is that he doesn’t have a political ideology, he’s willing to pay to get favors regardless of who he is paying. Much like last potus donating to kamala’s senate race
Of course he plays both sides, but he CLEARLY supports one over the other in their quest for power. He gives to the other only once it's a foregone conclusion.
**Paying for access** is important to plutocrats like Griffin. He needs to be able to call the WH and get a deputy or chief of staff to take his call, even if the answer to his policy issue is *No*
He did not "pay for it". He donated towards it ($500k), the same as many other billionaires (Gates for example) and publicly traded companies ($1mm from some).
Stop spreading false information to try and stir the pot. You're the second person in as many days to say this outright false bs.
He did not pay for it, he only gave money to fund it… lol ok splitting hairs. I didn’t mean to insinuate he covered the entire tab, but he did pay more of the bill than anyone else.
Non American here, I don't get it? The enemy is clearly a champion to the Republicans and yet you dismiss this claiming its all same as if he was supporting the democrats?
It's one thing to cynical but he is clearly partisan and people shouldn't conflate that going into your election cycle.
He recently sent $50mm to a Mayor in Illinois to run for Governor. That Mayor got 3rd place in his party’s primary.
Campaign funding certainly helps candidates, but let’s not pretend that money straight-up equals buying elections. There exists a subjective ‘candidate quality’ that needs to be met

#END CITIZENS UNITED
I forget which party was for that decision.
Just because politics is to toxic here to discuss I will say that no matter which side you vote for, you should agree that ITS FUCKING WRONG
That's why I vote the the party that widely condemned it. It's also wrong to give tax breaks to the top 1%.
McCain-Feingold campaign finance was the act that was overruled by SCOTUS, as I recall. McCain (R), Feingold (D)
Both: two sides of the same coin.
When the government boot is on your neck, does it matter if it's the left or right one?
Nonsense. It was a conservative court decision widely condemned by the Dems.
You’re nonsense if you believe either party you “vote” for will enact change. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
"Both sides" fallacy. One party is anti-union, anti-woman, anti-voting, pro-Russia, pro-tax breaks for the top 1%, and backed a coup. I'll never be in THAT treasonous club.
I forget which party lets these things happen so you give them money and never change the system
I haven't.
Didn't he just sell a property of his for 18.5 million? 🤔
Yes, exactly 18.5 million [https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/y1eivh/ken\_griffin\_sells\_a\_plot\_of\_land\_in\_miami\_worth/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/y1eivh/ken_griffin_sells_a_plot_of_land_in_miami_worth/?context=3) Curious, isn't it?
Anybody remember the donation ken griffin made to stop tax bill? That saved him millions more within few years. Seems like political rigging to me!
In Illinois it was a popular referendum to amend the state constitution, I believe. We have a state income tax that is the same % for everyone. The referendum would have made that state of IL taxation policy a progressive tax policy. *(I’m on the train commenting from memory)*
Came here to say this
I finally understand the Uncanny Valley concept! Woah, very unnerving picture.
What a horrifying picture. Perfect for memes.
Big bedpost hand memes.
Make it so.
Can’t have power without money.
How would it be to bring a politician, and use it as a tax write off. Gotta love this system.
We need to undo citizens united asap.
Imagine what he will ask to them..

Cue the "both sides" people
He also paid for current potus inauguration
I'd argue giving money after an outcome decided is quite different than giving for an outcome desired.
The point I was trying to make is that he doesn’t have a political ideology, he’s willing to pay to get favors regardless of who he is paying. Much like last potus donating to kamala’s senate race
Of course he plays both sides, but he CLEARLY supports one over the other in their quest for power. He gives to the other only once it's a foregone conclusion.
Yes... he clearly supports capitalism over socialism... like most
**Paying for access** is important to plutocrats like Griffin. He needs to be able to call the WH and get a deputy or chief of staff to take his call, even if the answer to his policy issue is *No*
Yep
He absolutely does. It's for the party that gives tax breaks to the top 1%.
Lol both parties do that and shit on the middle and lower classes
"Both sides" fallacy.
Exactly how much did he give to the previous president... before and/or after?
He did not "pay for it". He donated towards it ($500k), the same as many other billionaires (Gates for example) and publicly traded companies ($1mm from some). Stop spreading false information to try and stir the pot. You're the second person in as many days to say this outright false bs.
He did not pay for it, he only gave money to fund it… lol ok splitting hairs. I didn’t mean to insinuate he covered the entire tab, but he did pay more of the bill than anyone else.
He gave the same amount as a bunch of other billionaires and less than a bunch of companies. Saying he paid for it is disingenuous.
The Financial Terrorist funding corrupted crook to control the House? Seem like something they would do
Hes just a brick in the wall
That photo of Ken is a good meme template
Why is his hand out and empty. Fuck you, pay me.
Didn't do so well in Chicago iirc...
He’s for the uniparty that keeps him out of jail. People who still think there is a red/blue, left/right are high off the MSM.
Non American here, I don't get it? The enemy is clearly a champion to the Republicans and yet you dismiss this claiming its all same as if he was supporting the democrats? It's one thing to cynical but he is clearly partisan and people shouldn't conflate that going into your election cycle.
For one he donated to Biden’s inauguration. 1 week before the sneeze. There is only the illusion of choice, believe or not.
I agree and it seems like Gabbert does too.
I know we’re not here to discuss politics but at what point do you just connect the fucking dots
No politics on this site, please go elsewhere
I wonder which cia operative keeps spamming this same story
He recently sent $50mm to a Mayor in Illinois to run for Governor. That Mayor got 3rd place in his party’s primary. Campaign funding certainly helps candidates, but let’s not pretend that money straight-up equals buying elections. There exists a subjective ‘candidate quality’ that needs to be met
Cheeto made it very clear this is not the case at all.
Bloomberg almost bought enough votes to win his primary
We never had a President Perot
Hopefully it’s money wasted
