And do you think no comparative billionaires funded the allied war machine against Hitler, himself?
Moreover can you identify a specific policy compromise where in the absence of support from Tyler Perry, Bill Gates, or Mark Cuban for example, Harris would've performed better in the absence of their support and funding?
Can you please explain how Tyler Perry is as deplorable as Charles or David Koch?
I dislike this comparison because it invokes a circular reasoning / begging the question fallacy:
What we are debating is whether all billionaires are bad. Then you raise a comparison trying to prove they're all bad by associating them with nazis.
But we haven't yet established if the 10 billionaires around a table are all inherently evil or to the same degree to begin with.
Bill Gates or Warren Buffett are not as bad as Musk or the Waltons. At least the former believe they shouldn't exist in the first place. So when fighting fascism we kind of need all the resources we can get.
"Barely"? He won by 4% pts and won Ohio and Florida including all blue wall states. I don't know about barely. Keep in mind Obama was still recovering the country from the financial crisis and Republicans were constantly trying to pin the economy on him.
To add, I'll just remind folks that the former CBS CEO was caught on audio saying after Trump won in 2016, "Trump may not be good for America, but he's good for CBS! Keep going, Donald!"
I noticed you kind of hop-skipped past the whole down-ballot races thing, didn't ya?
You know. The California races that in the end decided who won the House? Sure hope their district had absolutely zero relevance whatsoever lol.
Forgetting the fact that they seemed vocal enough in trying to stop others from voting for Harris, too. But I'll eat my words if they can link a comment of theirs where they advised battleground voters to support Harris.
Trump says, "Finish the job" to Bibi while transferring the embassy to Jerusalem and you think you're going to get more results with Trump than Harris? Even if at best the same, as the Venn Diagram proves, it's deeply illogical. You drank the online Russian vodka and now more Palestinian blood is on your hands.
(Forgetting the obvious fact that you've got Ukrainian blood on your hands now, too, since Ukrainians also wanted Harris over Trump)
The kids want to "fight fascists! >:(" but can't bother educating themselves on the issues enough to realize they've fallen for the classic — textbook even — BoTh SiDeS fallacy that is peddled every election cycle.
But that doesn't change down-ballot races, and it also doesn't change the fact that they could've influenced the popular vote. I would've felt slightly better if Trump actually lost the popular vote. But people are stupid.

That's what I thought.
