    Shit like this is why I can’t take the Democrats seriously. They really want to redeem a guy who hit the sieg heil on inauguration day, emotionally abuses his transgender daughter and has caused irreparable damage to their country (tbh based.)

    “We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with,” Khanna said. “A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him.”

    Lol. Lmao even. Musk only pretended to care about these because he wanted to sell his cars to progressives.

      Seriously, he hasn’t even been out of his job working for the guy they all (correctly) call a fascist for a week yet, and they’re all, “let’s welcome back this wholesome, misguided gentleman who (just this year) sieg heiled twice on inauguration day and has been crying about the plight of the Boers.”

      Politicians obviously just want his money, they saw how much he donated to Trump, and of course some Silicon Valley parasite is one of the ones at the forefront. Wonder how many of their constituents will fall for it.

          100%

          As long as he goes on an anti-Trump tour with Bernie and AOC, the dem constituents will fall head over heels in love with the new Resistance Musk character.

          Edit: head of heals in love AGAIN.

      Seriously.

      Dems are more willing to cozy up to Cheyneys Bushs and now apparently Musk then they are to give AOC a low level chair position over a literal octogenarian dying of cancer. The party is a bigger impediment to progress in this country than the fascists.

      On an unrelated note Andrew Vuomo is looking like he’s gonna be the fem nod for NYC mayor.

      Pretty ballsy move for the party who’s literal only sales pitch is “at least were not trump” to nominated somebody who had to resign in shame for sexually assaulting peo0le and mishandling covid to the point they killed thousands.

      If I ever hear somebody complaining about “both sides” people saying the dems are just as bad as republicans I’m giving them a swirly and shoving them in a locker.

      It would be really funny to see Elon posted up next to the next DNC poster-boy (With how libs have been acting, I truly believe they will shelf the idea of a woman president) and see how the base tries to twist that into a good thing actually.

    • Does Khanna early onset dementia or something? I thought this idea would be coming from one of the crypt keepers, not someone like Khanna who’s almost on the Bernie end of the party (Not that that’s saying much)
