Marc Cuban Was The Only Billionaire

[gab13by13]

Who put country over greed. At least he was the only one who spoke out publicly.

[Omnipresent]

1. There's also Illinois Governor Pritzker.

He’s worth 3.6 billion

[gab13by13]

3. Yeah but

I was leaning toward corporate America. The billionaires want their tax cuts and deregulation.

A recession/depression, inflation, deflation, won't stop billionaires from living high on the hog. They will return with even more of a monopoly when the smaller companies go bust.

2. I thought Bill Gates was behind Harris?

[gab13by13]

6. Yeah, I think,

there weren't very many. Gates didn't catch my attention from my handful of news sources.

[mymomwasright]

4. Taylor Swift, Lenron James, Boyonce, Oprah, Stephen King......

[PortTack]

19. Add George Soros, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Melinda Gates

[eallen]

5. Taylor Swift

I haven't investigated to see who else. But one should do that, before declaring you have identified them all.

[gab13by13]

7. I have a bad habit of speaking in absolutes to get attention.

I was thinking corporate America and I should have specified that.

Taylor Swift could have a led a movement of young voters to the polls had she jumped in the pool. I don't blame her though, Magats could have ruined her career, not to mention the death threats.

8. Gates gave $50 M to the cause. Lots of wealthy people gave. Unfortunately, lots of rubes voted for trump.

[EdmondDantes_]

9. This is factually incorrect

More billionaires supported Harris than Trump.

13. Ha, you beat me. Nice.

[Mike 03]

20. Yes, thanks for posting this. This was an important

article.

We had a lot of billionaire backers; I wish some more of them had spoken out, especially Mike Bloomberg. It's water under the bridge now, but he really understood how to hit Rump where it hurt. When Asshole pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accords, Bloomberg flew to Paris and paid our funding commitments anyway. ($15 million if I recall). I've been wondering if he will bother with that again. But, unfortunately, he's rather quiet about what he does do.

10. Um, Oprah?

[ancianita]

11. Not so. So much was going on that this might have been missed...

...besides those listed in the thread above ...

A letter signed by more than a dozen billionaires last month endorsing Harris explained their belief Harris “will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment,”... many of her billionaire backers from Silicon Valley, who grew familiar with Harris during her time as a California prosecutor.

83 billionaires backed Harris compared to 52 for Trump.

12. I believe that more billionaires supported Harris.

Most of them don’t want the country and economy destroyed because it will affect their business’s.

[WarGamer]

15. Correct, Biden/Harris had FAR MORE billionaire backers than Trump.

How things have changed over the last 25 years.

[Mr.Bill]

16. True, but none of them jumped up and down

behind her at the podium in front of thousands of fans. We now see how much childish stunts like that convinces idiots.

[WarGamer]

17. true!!

[WarGamer]

14. Oprah? Bloomberg? Swift, Spielberg? And dozens more all made their support public

[spooky3]

18. Multiple billionaires contributed to Harris' campaign

Cuban went beyond to serve as a surrogate.

[Pepsidog]

21. He maybe one of the few people with enough appeal to overcome this MAGA madness.

[rainin]

22. He said publicly that he didn't give a dime to either candidate

Meanwhile, I spent more than I could afford, as did many of you. Before you come at me because you didn't see the interviews, check yourself. He said it. He said he didn't want to be wanted for his money. Meanwhile billionaires poured money into electing trump. I won't ever see him the same. He is no hero. He should be asked to explain himself now.
