The billionaire also told the outlet that he plans to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary Tuesday as “a protest vote against Trump,” but that he would still support the current president versus the former one.

    Sometimes billionaires and people don’t want a crazy insurrectionist in office.

    They often dont.

    But when our only two options is “batshit crazy social/conservative fiscal” and “conservative social/conservative fiscal”.

    It kind of gives us a problem.

    No matter what party wins, the billionaires win.

    We just have to decide if we want social progress to roll back, or stay the same.

    Which is why 1/3 of the country doesn’t vote. And why Obama flipped a bunch of red states his first term.

    We can run progressives and easily win elections and get stuff done. Or we can run neoliberals and pray they beat the Republican in a coin flip election.
