If you're too stupid to vote for Biden to save America from Fascism (talking to you, Tankies), at least vote for him to make Elon Musk waste a bunch of money.

Elon is all talk. I'll believe it when he produces receipts.

Lmao. I hate that I feel this way also

If legislation under Trump will be worth more than that donation to him, it is a no brainer.

Elon doesn't seem to be that rational.

What an incredibly inclusive statement. I don’t know why we’re in this mess.

The rich and powerful of the nation are coordinating to usher in fascism at lightning speed, and you're worried about the 500 pinkos who won't vote Biden because of his complicity in genocide? You've taken the same side as MAGA in blaming all the country's problems on leftists. It is misdirection. You've been effortlessly oriented to be so wickedly invested in American electoralism, that you now have zero reservations about voting for candidates who both want genocide.

In 30 years, will you still be militantly democrat when the choice is between a dem who wants 5 genocides and a republican who wants 10?

Fascism Is Possible Not in Spite of Liberal Capitalism, but Because of It

Edit: Also, Musk could continue doing these monthly payments for the next 460 years without making another cent ever again. This notion of "wasting his money" is silly. Each month takes a mere 0.02% hit on his account.

If Trump wins we surely will be heading for a final solution.

The Tankies want to destroy democracy and the West more than the fascists do...

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah? Who’s their candidate for president to achieve this?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Be nice to tankies. Misled? Yeah. Good peeps? Actually, yeah.

Elon: "I'm giving Trump $45M/mo using subsidies I've collected from the American federal government."

Lemmy Guy: "Oh yeah, well I'm still voting for Joe Biden!"

Joe Biden: "You, uh, I won't stop, um... We gotta buy more Teslas, Jack! To save the planet!"
