Or do you hate that their politics don't align with yours?

[shimman]

Everyone should hate people that believe in undemocratic principles.

Hot take: what has democracy done for us lately? Besides re-electing Donald Trump?

If something can't go on forever, it will eventually stop. That applies to any system that gives stupid people the same political voice as the rest of the electorate. I mean, it seems kind of obvious, doesn't it?

I hate that their politic's explicit goal is to make my, yours, and everyone else's lives actively worse. Government is not a business.

We're not getting better healthcare, more and better jobs, more efficient transportation, better city infrastructure, nor more houses. We aren't even getting the cool things shown in cyberpunk dystopias. Hell, we can't even ask for them to follow the law these days.

Why would I want to support them getting into politics? There's a difference betweeen them having different thoughts on how fund, say, self drving cars (which I'm not a fan of) and then all of that above.

[micromacrofoot]

it's that their money buys outsized influence and erodes the concept of democracy

[estearum]

Nah, I don't even know what Garry's politics are. I hate that there's so much money in politics in general.

[diggyhole]

Fair enough.

[saubeidl]

Their very existence doesn't align with my politics, or any decent person's politics for that matter.

Smart, successful people offering products and services that lots of people want does not align with your politics? What are your politics?
