Trump’s Shameless, Corrupt Wooing of Plutocrats Is Suddenly Backfiring
A media narrative has somehow taken hold that CEOs are stampeding toward Trump.
The full story isn’t nearly so simple.
While a media narrative has taken hold that corporate elites are rushing to support Trump
—shelving misgivings about his threats of authoritarian rule
—the reality is much more complex.
His corrupt entreaties appear to be contributing to a sense that a second term would be unsettlingly chaotic and disruptive to the business climate
—and this has emerged as a key argument that President Biden’s allies outside the White House are quietly making to business leaders in urging them not to back Trump.
In an interview, White House chief of staff Jeff Zients said that he and other administration officials have been meeting one-on-one with CEOs in what he called an “all-hands effort.”
“The most important thing for U.S. economic growth and for progress and good fortune,” Zients told me, in describing the pitch he makes to CEOs,
is “to have a stable, predictable environment.”
Zients said he argues that “you might not agree with everything that’s done,” but “there’s an opportunity to talk things through, and there aren’t surprises.”
No, it's a vote for no preference, or no vote at all.
Actually, considering the way that Biden has been lurching Right these past 2 years and his recent pandering with the Republicans on so many issues, you could seriously argue that a vote for Biden is more of a vote for Trump.
In any case, I reject BOTH. I have that right as a voter and a citizen.
Once again, take your vote shaming and...cue Johnny Paycheck.
Chris Christie ends his candidacy for president.
I know, many have much to criticize him for, but I admire his courage to speak out against Trump.
In a cult, being the only one to call out the cult leader is not an easy task.
I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush.
I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.
In 2024 the Green Party is running Cornell West. Let’s not repeat this history, friends
Your vote is not a marriage. You’re not choosing a life partner. It’s a chess move for what’s best for the country and the world.
