Jonah Fatburg: Akshually, Small Individual Donors Are Stupid, Angry, and Bigoted, Whereas Billionaire Donors, Like the Kind That Keep My Fat Ass Plump and Well-Swaddled, Are Much More Knowledgeable and Wise

Donor service.

Fat nepot grifter cvnt.

Update:

At least he's being honest here. This is the core division on the right - those that believe in vox populi, and those that believe in the gatekeepers and institutions. Buckley famously said that he'd rather be governed by the first 50 names in the phone book than by the faculty of Harvard (or something to that effect, not looking that up).

Most of us here agree with Buckley. Jonah and his ilk have a fundamental distrust of the people, which coincidentally, seems to have sprouted right around the time that the people quit buying his bullshit.

Perfect.

If large donors care more about who can win than which candidate most matches their policy preferences, what exactly is the point of donating money? It's not to help that candidate to win because the candidates probability of victory is a precondition of donating money to the campaign.

Seems like Jonah is just straight up admitting that billionaire donors are better because they're looking for kickbacks and special privileges. Which is a pretty weird thing for a "conservative" to say.

They've been running this con -- "We need to push for our unpopular agenda not your unpopular agenda, because we can't win with your unpopular agenda, only our own unpopular agenda" -- for fifty fucking years.

They refuse to finally get it that this Con the Rubes ploy just doesn't work any longer.

Trump proved that our "unpopular agenda" was in fact very popular -- much more popular than that of the Corporate class.

A friend of mine snarks: "Large donors, famously, don't have any electorally-problematic positions they force into candidates."

No, just the endless tax cuts for well-off people and corporations. Not saying I'm against those -- but they are unpopular as well.

And this claque of billionaire donors has made sure that every Republican presidential candidate must put the unpopular position of tax cuts for corporations and the very wealthy as the absolute top priority -- and then they tell the rest of us, "We can't afford the political hit of pushing your unpopular positions, we have to spend every dime of our political capital pursuing only the agenda of the ultra-rich and the corporate establishment."

My friend further adds: "People across the political spectrum are big fans of open borders, we're learning. Just one of those neutral large donor positions."

Eat yourself to death, you fat disgusting idiot.

Akshually looks like you're halfway there, Jonah! Bon appetite, c0cksucking corporate toady!
