I follow this guy very closely. He’s brilliant and has a very good, no BS mindset. I’m assuming that he’s a Dem, and given that I can imagine no better Dem. Joke away, but as a country we could do so, so, so much worse.

Let me add this link from two days ago on RealClearPolitics:
https://www.realclearmarkets.com/video/2021/01/09/chamath_palihapitiya_on_spacs_bitcoin_and_the_new_world_of_finance_w_raoul_pal_655929.html

At the 1:02:30 mark, last question, he responds that the most important thing for the world going forward is “balance,” meaning centrism, rejection of extremes, ...

It’s a mistake for posters on this site to mock him. Yes, he can be smug and crude at points, but I view that as an occupational hazard for ultra-successful, high-IQ Silicon Valley types. But he stands vehemently opposed to a lot of the same things in SV that make us all here on FR apoplectic. Given that California is irretrievably blue, AND BECAUSE I SUSPECT HE WOULD WIN, I would actually send his campaign a contribution.
