An Unrealistic expectation, given the Fact that the U.S. News Biz abandoned its tepid efforts from the ‘80s-late ‘90s to fully integrate its Editorial Ops. When #BigTech ate the ad revenue of Legacy News in the early-mid Aughts, diversity efforts were abandoned. This is a big part of #HowWeGotHere.

Lonsdale and his #TechOligarch buddies have been beta-testing this anti-WorkingClass BS in #SanFrancisco for years—enabled by local Pols who greedily fell for #BigTech’s fake promises of “economic prosperity for all.” It’s #HowWeGotHere.
This is where we are: a tech billionaire who, as an undergrad writing in the Stanford Review, "blasted a student movement to raise custodians' pay, warning it 'destroys incentive for them to improve themselves,'" is now a chief architect of a homelessness policy built around punishment and coercion.
How the Billionaire Joe Lonsdale Shaped Trump’s Homelessness Policy (Gift Article)
As Republicans have embraced tough measures to clear the streets, no group has led the way more than the Cicero Institute, founded by the venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale.

Some people refuse to see people they admire in an objective manner. They just won't accept anything even hinting at it. They're everywhere on the political spectrum and always have been.
Look how many did that in 2016 and 2024, and are still doing it today.

Fascism is a strategy for minority control by concentrated capital to protect its corruption.
Now that we have empowered an oligarchy of white men with record wealth, those who serve those same capital interests enable it, no matter which party they belong to

I'm sorry, but this is obfuscation. The reality is simple.
Trump and his adherents are fascist white supremacists aiming to destroy every good thing in America.
If you look at a choice between them and a Democrat - any Democrat - and go "eh, not left enough, I'll pass" you are a child and a fool.

I've seen a bunch of this online, mostly from people less credible than Stancil. I've been a union organizer for almost 30 years and worked on every election in that time period. (I also voted for Harris and protested the genocide.) Posts like this fail to grasp 3 universal truths about elections.
