The guy is bankrupt in every way possible. Financially, intellectually, morally, ethically - and much more.
- Every way except tie length!
  
  Gifted in tie length.
- You know the racist stereotype of the tequila drunken mexican snooozing under the shade of a cactus?... trump is the equivalent for americans now
Christ, if we even have elections after this, we will desperately need a FDR 2.0 and a Congress that backs him and they will need a Progressive Project 2029.
- Her. And her name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
  
  I think she'd be a great choice but we need a white guy to run. I hate to say it, but we need every advantage possible, and being a white man is an advantage. Maybe an AOC VP makes sense, but I'm very worried that the there's at least enough truth to the racism/sexism claims about last year and I am sick of gambling peoples futures on candidates we know are going to struggle.
- If you are waiting for that, you are already defeated
  
  You need to take to the street NOW and enact a national strike
- And anyone mentioning reaching across the aisle is automatically out. And the filibuster.. gone. Without question.

Oh my god
- While I would not mind increased automation and use of AI in workplaces, using them in call centers for social security is beyond stupid.
  
  Edit: unpopular opinion I guess, fair enough.
  
  Definitely unpopular opinion. I don't know how everyone isn't sick of shit-for-brains AI interactions
Oh no the leopards gonna eat the old dumb fucks good riddance.
- That's many of us in a few years.
  
  And it's money we earned, taken out of our paychecks already.
  
  This is simple theft, and it hurting a few more of the 'right people' now is not a good thing when it hurts all (American) people soon.
  
  A big salty tear. You get what you deserve 🤡
- What a shit take.
- I understand the sentiment, man. I'm mad too. But being vindictive to perceived enemies is exactly how we got in this mess.
- Found elons account
  
  What a clever and insightful comment. I'm very proud of you and all the hard work you did it must have really been a struggle. How did you decide what thought you wanted to copy and repeat.
- WTAF?
- If you wanted to get blocked, you could have just asked instead of being a gigantic cunt. Better all around.
