Dude. Thank you. That was honestly the moment I paid more attention. Before the sub, I was in the general group of people that thought he was just a really out there tech enthusiast who was investing in cool stuff. Trying to mainstream electric vehicles? Cool cool. Free/cheap internet access for all around the world? Sounds great. Getting people interested in space again? Cool cool cool. That marketing team did a great job of keeping him associated with being an innovative, relatable, quirky “genius.” Until he couldn’t get them to use his sub idea to save those boys. His eruption into that multi-week temper tantrum made me actually pay attention to him a bit and I was disgusted. It feels like he must have fired whatever PR team he had during his tantrum and has just been riding off the rails since trying to regain that image of a savior he once had.

When did I say I was a Democrat? Both parties are too far right for me personally. I’m saying you can’t blame the average voter for our 2 party system we’re stuck in. The majority of Americans aren’t happy but how exactly can it be fixed when more than half of them can’t even be bothered to even think of politics? Decades of indifference allowed this, not the people who actually regularly make it to the polls even while pissed with their options.

You’re acting like the only other option wasn’t Trump again. Most people didn’t vote for Biden/Harris because they actually wanted Biden or Harris, but because we’re trapped in a 2 party system in a country where half the population doesn’t even vote.
