    All I know about Pritzker is that he's the governor of Illinois. And from the self text and comments I see Chapo has mentioned him.

    I thought Pritzker was a bog standard democrat. I don't get the jokes.

    Edit: I forgot to mention that I knew he was a big boy.

      the joke is apparently that he’s like, one of the only billionaires that IIRC has yet to argue that we need to blend poor people into a fine paste (the bar really is that fucking low). Also he’s passed policy (unheard of for democrats), and is truly a presence.

      Read the article :shrug-outta-hecks:

        Robinson is a world-class windbag. I assume the article is ~8,000 words and yet he used 100 times as many words as he should have. He could have his point in ~80 words. I want to know but I don't want to know that badly

          Basically:

          He has done good things as governor

          He is not Joseph Biden

          Huh, Illinois leftists think he's at least okay (as far as billionaires go)

          He hasn't definitively said he's not running

      He's legit better than the average dem because he actually does things. Not enough or cool enough things, cause he's a dem and a billionaire, but he's fine. Might actually address covid if he were president, but it's doubtful he would be and it would still be half measures.
