A Billionaire Trump Backer Is Desperate to Stop Zohran Mamdani (jacobin.com)

Billionaire Bill Ackman and his rich friends want someone, anyone, to bring down Zohran Mamdani. Their pitch: take our money, it won’t be much time and energy, and maybe you’ll get famous enough to use the campaign as a stepping stone to higher office.

In Russia, they are using war to redefine the identity of the country. Putin sees western liberal democracy as the source of all Russia's woes. By creating war he has an opportunity to redefine the Russian identity in his making.

Likewise, US oligarchs have identified politics and elections as a way to redefine the face of the American people. By controlling elections they control the fate of the nation, and the identity of the American people.

Fuck Bill Ackman. And fuck every billionaire.
