Unironically Pritzker is someone to watch out for although imo not this election cycle. Of the democrat governors, I’ve seen more positive and less negative from him. Motherfucker got me legal weed and a paid vacation. That’s powerful energy going into the future
I have met more than one rich person IRL who gets what’s going on and understands how to actually keep capitalism running. Weirdly it’s the CEOs and people who have inherited vast sums (like Pritzker) that are the sharpest on this. Entrepreneurs and business owners are completely off the deep end though, they all think they’re characters in an Ayn Rand novel.
If I was a soulless billionaire I would be pushing for social democracy tout court.
I don’t want to say I “like” Pritzker, but I’m not sure I have the right words for it. He’s definitely made me ask myself which is better: a “leftist” politician like AOC or Bernie who won’t even try to get anything done (or just not very good at getting things done; to me AOC is the former or Bernie is the later), or a more centrist lib like Pritzker who at least can be funny and also an asshole who can actually get shit done, even if it’s just meager improvements.
As far as I can tell, not really, but there are certainly democrat politicians that are quite loathed. Simple indifference would be a massive improvement over the attitudes towards Biden.
Im not really “that” tuned into US politics. Are there really any democrat politicians people are into at the moment ?

It’s wild that the richest politician in the country is somehow one of the better ones
Same reason FDR was smart enough to invest in guillotine insurance.

Inb4 a mega billionaire takes it too far for them and accidentally presses the communism button that also guillotines them at the same time
Ayyyy another IL comrade!
Oh, I’ve been here. I’ve been contemplating going out of my way to see you play one of these days but I don’t want to be cringe irl
Haha, you’re all good! I’ve met a number of people from this site. DM me if you ever wanna!
It’s better than nothing, but imagine what I would’ve accomplished without federal interference.
