You make it seem like a Zuckerberg presidency will be anything different from a token Democrat/Republican/Celebrity candidate. They all follow the same rules of increasing military spending and increasing the gap between rich and poor. Zuck will campaign on xyz, and < 100 days later, maintain the status quo.

what a dumb thing to say. look at history- some presidents have been bad, and some good. you are saying they are all the same. wrong.

I would say since JFK, they all have pledged allegiance to the Military Industrial Complex. Even with Trump, I had some faith based on his mentions of real issues like heroin abuse, but something changed him.. Made him fall in line.

Except perhaps Carter. He canceled the B-1 bomber. returned the Panama canal. He campaigned against what he called "The Imperial Presidency".

Of course, he was reviled for doing so.

[metaphorm]

they're not all the same but s/he is correct to note that every president capitulates to the demands of the military-industrial complex and the finance-capitalist agenda.

i dont have illusions about political reality. but that doesn't mean that the choices we make dont matter.
