51. I don't think anyone here is supporting Bezos

Or any billionaire willingly, but we all have lives to lead. That may mean buying stuff from one of the largest retailers in the country.

We vote for democrats to keep the likes of Bezos and Musk in check. The issue is a system that allows people to accumulate and horde such wealth without any consequences.
