      For what it’s worth, JB Pritzker seems relatively decent from everything I’ve seen about him (and I have lived in IL while he was governor).

      I definitely would not consider him a perfect candidate, but I would probably vote for him again over most Democrats if I still lived there.

      Also, if I lived in CA, there is no chance in hell I would vote Newsom after he threw trans people under the bus. IDK if I would vote for this guy, that depends on the other options available.

    All billionaires are activists, and activism is not inherently good. Their money is actively changing the world around them and their consumption creates the markets we have to live with.

    No billionaires should have the kind of power and influence they do.
