La Contradicción Central: Pritzker como Multimillonario.
Una gran parte de las discusiones gira en torno a la naturaleza inherentemente contradictoria de apoyar a un multimillonario, incluso uno que parece actuar progresista. Muchos expresan su aversión a la existencia de multimillonarios, pero reconocen su utilidad en la lucha contra figuras como Trump.
- So like i hate that hes a billionaire, but pritzker seems to actually care about people and is putting up more of a fight than 99 of the establishment right now.
- Im so torn on pritzker. Hes been clear-eyed and steady on the moment. Better than almost any governor in america. Hes also still a billionaire and i cant help but think that a billionaire isnt the answer to fighting a solidifying oligarchy.
- Pritzker seems like hes trying to be a good person and a good governor. But he is still a billionaire, and billionaires including the ones we like are still inherently evil.
- I like pritzker, but hes a billionaire, and every billionaire lives off the blood and sweat of the american people!
- Thank you. Pritzker is a billionaire. Hes saying the right things now because he wants to be considered one of the good ones. This is no such thing as a good billionaire.
- I really dont want to back a billionaire, but. At this point. Pritzker is the one for me.
- You cant be a billionaire and be a good person because a good person wouldnt horde that much wealth. Jb pritzker may be a good governor and do good things but hes not a good person.
- I hate that a billionaire is currently looking like americas best hope but maybe in todays world the best billionaire is all we can hope for.
- I generally despise billionaires, and pritzker is a billionaire.but he also has a track record.
- I reallyy dont want another billionaire in power, but damn if pritzker isnt winning me over.
La Utilidad del Dinero: Autofinanciamiento y Resistencia.
Un argumento recurrente es que el estatus de multimillonario de Pritzker le otorga una independencia crucial de los donantes corporativos y le proporciona los recursos necesarios para luchar eficazmente contra oponentes poderosos como Trump.
- Pritzker is a billionaire using his power and influence for good, to help the people of illinois that hired him. He gets a pass.
- Jokes aside, this is why im resigned to pritzker. He is a billionaire he can afford protection and has shown he is willing to fight.
- Pritzker is a billionaire but a good and honest one who works so hard for il. He is amazing! the reason i bring this up isnt because i care about money. Its because he can go up against all that evil that has money because he has money. They cant threaten to sue him or make him go broke.
- But if pritzker is a billionaire, hes a billionaire on the side of democracy. We need more of those.
- Also pritzker being a billionaire is actually helpful. The business community wont flip a shit if hes elected and he can at least talk to them and mollify them more easily than other candidates.
El Historial de Gobernador: Acciones vs. Clase.
Los residentes de Illinois y observadores externos a menudo citan el historial de Pritzker como gobernador como prueba de que es una excepción a la regla de los multimillonarios, destacando sus políticas progresistas y su firmeza contra el trumpismo.
- Jb pritzker is one of the few billionaires with an actually good track record surprisingly.
- Maybe a hot take, but pritzker hes to my right, and yes hes a billionaire, but hes the governor of a huge state taking real progressive swings and being belligerent while he does it.
- I wasnt for pritzker when he was running for governor of illinois precisely because he is a billionaire, but you should not let an opportunity pass to praise him because he has been one hell of a governor.
- Pritzker is shockingly good though, the amount of progressive legislation hes passed is insane.
- I know i should probably be more critical of jb considering hes a billionaire and a politician buti just really appreciate the things he has done for the great state of illinois.
Críticas Persistentes: Zionismo, Corrupción y Purity Testing.
A pesar de los elogios, las críticas persisten, enfocándose en su estatus de heredero, sus lazos con AIPAC, su postura sobre Israel/Palestina, y acusaciones de corrupción local o de no actuar con suficiente dureza contra el ICE.
- My main point of contention with pritzker is that the answer to a billionaire villain is not a good billionaire but also hes a zionist fuck weasel piece of shit and literally scratch a dem politician and someone shooting kids in gaza bleeds so lets not get our hopes up.
- I like pritzker. Hes honest and an excellent communicator. He can do a great, moving speech. He turned away trump from chicago. So far. He had sessions all over the state for immigrants on their rights in feb. Hes a billionaire. Which may help with the i want a businessman crowd.
- I really like pritzker. Hes an actual fighter for progressive causes and i think he has it in him to do the necessary rebuilding after this. Wish he wasnt a billionaire nepo baby but what can you do?
- I have concerns about pritzkers wealth and what it says about his likely effectiveness as a voice for the movement against billionaire domination of society.
- I am on the record as saying billionaires shouldnt exist. But he was running against a billionaire who refused to sign a budget for three years.
El Espejo de Trump: Dos Multimillonarios en la Arena Política.
Varios usuarios notan la ironía de que la principal esperanza demócrata sea un multimillonario que se enfrenta a un expresidente multimillonario, y algunos creen que Pritzker tiene la ventaja de ser un "verdadero" multimillonario que no teme a Trump.
- Jb pritzker seems to do a good job, but its a sad indictment of us politics that one of the only shining lights it has is the mirror universe version of donald trump another billionaire, from another wealthy family, but who supports the democrats.
- I think it gives him power and a pretty good counter argument to some of djts dumbest strengths.
- I think pritzker is the way to go. Hes got the altruistic billionaire schtick and his pro-trans rights policies and rhetoric isnt for show due to his sister.
- I think that, and i am a real billionaire, comment from dem convention got to trump. He dont fuck with pritzker.
