      Vivek Ramaswamy. He is a con-man running for governor of Ohio. He made his fortune by buying a failed alzheimer drug and then lying to investors about its potential in order to jack up the stock price of his company. He is also famous for going on a Christmas day rant, along with Elon Musk, about how entitled and worthless American workers are because we demand things like a living wage and want free time to enjoy things like recreation.

      He isn’t doing to well in Ohio fortunately.

        Holy shit he’s actually losing. To a shitty dem sure, but a shitty dem can still be expected to fight against the extreme gerrymandering that’s ruined the state I once loved well, called home

        Yeah being so physically weak that you can’t pick up a child probably doesn’t go over well in “big huge warrior country” places like Ohio lol

        Sounds like a pretty stand-up guy other than that /s

          He really is a shitty person. He had a moment during the 2016 primaries but was easily eclipsed by Trumps personality. He was suppose to work on DOGE with Elon but got canned after his Christmas day insult pissed off a ton of MAGA’s. He’s also managed to offend Christians in Ohio, he is a brand of Hindu that believes in a monotheists god but not necessarily a Christian god. He said something like “Jesus Christ isn’t THE God he’s a god” or something like that and you can imagine how that, along with his hindu-lite religious believes, went over with the Bible crowd.

          I’m hoping he keeps screwing up.

        I’ll never forget how he had Ann Coulter on his show and she said the most racist shit right in his face. He just sat there and laughed like it was a joke. Completely spineless turd.

      He’s running for governor in Ohio, but if you lived here you wouldn’t know it. Not a single ad FOR him.

      They’re too afraid of their racist base not liking him to show him or his name in any political ad. Instead it’s just attach ads on his opponent making fun of the fact that she tripped on a dog gate once…
