Unfortunately the campaign is now locked into the Oracle licensing agreement
Uh oh, better look at his laptop or something.
Is this our new aristocracy?
- New?
  
  Ouch.
  You're not wrong, but ouch
- “New” lol
I wonder what the angle is here…
Or maybe it’s a hedge play. Have son donate to Democrats. Shitty father continues to donate to GOP.
Or maybe son is angling for a tech regulation to break up father’s empire. In the fallout, he secures a larger piece of his fathers empire.
- Donate both ways, guarantee winning.
- They forced tiktok to store all their data on Oracle's servers, and I'm sure Oracle gets billions of dollars in government contracts through other ways as well. Some of that's flowing back to the politicians that will continue to make those decisions.
- Also the possibility that the son knows his dad is a dick, and knows one of the best ways to stick it to his old man is to donate some of his own nepo-baby money to something that is in direct opposition to his dad's donations.
Eat them all.
He's going to need a lot...
It cost over a billion last election and he only won by 30k across a few states.
His numbers are lower this cycle, it's going to cost a lot more.
But obviously we can't run a candidate that's already popular. Or even just isn't actively supporting a genocide.
- I don't know if you're getting downvoted for saying genocide or for saying that the US is actively supporting genocide, but both are true and I stand with you on that.
  
  He's being downvoted because he's a Trump voter who is pretending to be on the fence and that he "can't morally vote for Biden". While the person he does vote for gives out government secrets, commits fraud after fraud and is waiting to sell Ukraine and would still openly support Israel.
  He's not wrong about Biden supporting Genocide, he's just being disingenuous about what he actually wants. Genocide is a US thing, not a President thing, so you have to subtract that from both sides. At least one side is not going to support a genocide in Ukraine.
