      No.

      Vance attempts to hide long time confirmed backer Peter Thiel.

    Thiel has no kids, why should he worry about elections?

    In fact, all his money and his vote should go to a mother with underage children.

    How to appeal to the common man:
    Beg billionaires for money, apparently.

      Does he though? Penis Thiel is a good portion of the reason Vance is even on the ticket.

        I am aware, but the fact Jumbo Douche Vance has to publicly beg him for money could be because Thiel is doing this:

          I just assumed this was some key jangling so the newborns watching cable news forget that the sectional predator was pushed by Theil to start with.

    I am going to countermand that request. I request you stay on the sidelines.

    Throwing good money after bad. You don’t need Palantir to see that Trump is tanking hard. Money spent on him will end up wasted, and Thiel has plenty of other levers to pull.

    Publicly shaming someone into giving you money and justifying it by saying "it’s okay, we go way back" is so tacky .

    Also Peter Thiel isn’t just politically exhausted, he’s financially exhausted. Far from broke but exhausted after spending untold millions in the last decade on a political investment that hasn’t really panned out, thus his recent distancing from Trump & Co.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
