https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4854801-vance-thiel-support-trump/J.D. Vance is begging his old master Peter Thiel to help Donald Trump win the 2024 election.The co-founder of PayPal and Palantir has helped swing elections in the past, but previously stated that he would sit this one out. However, Vance is trying to capitalize on their long-standing relationship to get Thiel “off the sidelines” and funding the Trump-Vance campaign, according to the Financial Times.“I’m going to keep on talking to Peter and persuading him that—you know he’s obviously been exhausted by politics a little bit—but he’s going to be really exhausted by politics if we lose and if Kamala Harris is president,” Vance told the FT in an interview published Thursday.“He is fundamentally a conservative guy, and I think that he needs to get off the sidelines and support the ticket.”Vance was once Thiel’s pupil in Silicon Valley, and when Vance started his own fund, he was financially supported by the PayPal founder, whom he considered a mentor. When Vance ran for Senate in 2022, Thiel shelled out a record-breaking $15 million to secure his victory. Trump and Vance reportedly initially met through a meeting put together by Thiel himself.The billionaire venture capitalist and Trump have fallen out in recent years, and Thiel did not financially support Trump in 2020. Last year, Thiel said he wouldn’t give “any money to Republican politicians in 2024,” but left the door open, saying “there’s always a chance I might change my mind.” Many have seen Trump’s pick of Vance as a nod toward Silicon Valley right-wingers like Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Elon Musk. In July, after Trump announced his V.P. pick, Thiel hinted that he could be swayed. “I always try to resist getting swept up in excitement,” he told The New York Times. “But in spite of many misgivings I had earlier this year, it makes me more hopeful that a second Trump term will be better than the first.”

>>1336666That's a bad thing
>>1336625Just nationalize the system, imagine the trillions you'd save cutting out the corporate middle men who do nothing but leech the system.
>>1336667For big pharma, yes it is.
>>1336671>Just nationalize the systemWanna know how I know you're American? > imagine the trillions you'd save Yeah because the VA is so cost-efficient and gives such great care.
>>1336677>He's a corporate booklicker
>>1336679Nah, I'm a capitalist.
>>1336625>Because McCain voted to keep it? So, in other words, he failed as a leader. He came into the White House claiming he was a businessman that could bring people together and get deals passed and he was utterly incapable of getting anything done if it didn't fall strictly along party lines. Even then, the only thing he got done was tax cuts that added trillions to our deficit. >Getting rid of the individual mandate which, ironically, is what Obama wanted.False. The phrase he used time and time again was "repeal and replace". He claimed several times that he was just "a few weeks away" from releasing a comprehensive GOP healthcare proposal which he never did. He only pivoted back to the "well I got rid of the individual mandate" meme once it was called out that he completely flubbed on his Obamacare promise.
>>1336680So you deep throat that boot

>>1336569don't care. still not voting trump
>>1336697>medsTrump came into the White House claiming he was a businessman who was going to bring everyone together and make deals. He failed at that. He was the leader. He failed to lead. He's the head of a governmental organization and was incapable of negotiating any deals like he promised. Cope. >Obama was opposed to the individual mandate. It was Hillary's idea which he very famously opposed. Trump promised to repeal and replace Obamacare. He promised that he'd be releasing a new healthcare plan "any week" several times throughout his presidency. He failed at both.
