“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”

        The only redeeming quality about trump is he seems to be against the status quo of Republican/Democrat governance. Obviously he’s all sorts of fucking wrong in every way, but the way things have trended with Republicans and Democrats has not made the lives of average Americans better.

        Someone said (and I’m terrible at remembering things like who) that Republicans make rules to benefit the rich, and Democrats make rules to benefit the poor and the rich. That is the status quo that we are left with. And right now, it’s unfortunately the status quo that I’m rooting for, because the alternative is worse.
