Thanks for the rec. Beyond the disturbing yet unsurprising lying and manipulation, it’s striking how out of touch Andreesen is. Just where his head is at to begin with is… wildly disconnected from the reality most Americans live with. Billionaires should not exist.

Shutting down polling stations in democratic areas has been part of the disenfranchisement strategy to-date. I’m sure this policy is one step of a few to try and permanently take power…

I think a gladiator style squishy poles match on a delicate island would work well too!

The oligarchs’ vision for ‘choice’

It’s worse than that - this election was a major win for billionaires, the DNC’s donors that call the shots and decide who gets on the ticket and the same group that backs the GOP’s ticket. The difference in the candidates is a reflection of the range of preferences within the billionaire class. That’s why we can’t get exciting progressive candidates. That’s also why we see so many articles blaming voters or blaming a side - the division keeps people focused elsewhere. Billionaire-owned and managed media (propaganda) keeps them out of the spotlight. Kamala was the far better candidate but she lost because the more hateful of the billionaires put their funds into setting up a false choice (a vote either way is a vote for the billionaires) and then poured on the gas to get the other guy in office.
