Overheard on the sinking boat: “everyone grab a bucket and bail!” Then there’s that one voice saying “No! Don’t save us with a *gasp* SILVER bucket!”

Ah yes because being worth a billion dollars is not at all indicative that they've exploited workers and it's fine to give him further power to do it again

When the house is on fire you use all the hoses. Your type of purity test brought about this rise of fascism.

Asking in good faith I promise, but what evidence/sources are out there about Pritzker exploiting his workers? I don't know that much about his background before becoming Governor.

Look up his net worth

Nah I think there's gotta be more than that to persuade folks. If there is, I'd love to genuinely know. I do know for some folks that are true Marxists that being a billionaire is an immediate disqualification, and a lot of those folks are on the front lines at protests and I respect that.

He's worth $4 billion. He's hoarding his wealth. And he got that wealth by his family underpaying workers while they became rich oligarchs.

Out of curiosity, are you one of the folks who doesn't vote for the Dem because they're not left enough for you, but also is one of the types who is on the front lines of anti-fascist rallies? If so, I can respect that, even if I'm not persuaded that stupid wealth is an immediate moral disqualifier.

Are you okay with homeless people sleeping in the freezing cold and blistering heat while a billionaire like this chills on his Yahth hoarding $4,000,000,000 of assets while he lectures the country about being moral?

Obviously not. The system fucking sucks. I don't want a billionaire candidate, but Pritzker admittedly talks a good game and I could see him having broad appeal as he appears more genuine than some. Is there a Dem you would support, or are you outside the party but put in the work?
