Ryan Salame, the co-CEO, donated heavily to the GOP.

Don't fall for the red-blue trap. There is one establishment, which uses social issues to divide and conquer and create the illusion of choice.

Be careful, they'll call you an 'enlightened centrist' to convince others this position is irresponsible

And I suppose snidely preempting the response somehow makes it false?

As I've explained to others here before, there's a difference in magnitude which is relevant here. SBF pledged to donate _$1 billion_ to the Democrat party. The only person to spend more money on the Democrats this cycle was the dear George Soros.

Who knows what's in store for SBF, but it's important to look at the facts here and acknowledge that this operation was heavily invested in the success of the Democratic party.

There's an even bigger difference between donating and pledging to donate.

Salame donated $26.4M to individual GOP politicians and another $2-3M to GOP political organization.

SBF donated $39.8M to Democratic politicians and organizations.

Not all that different.

The $1B pledge was realistically never going to happen, just as his offer to loan Musk $3B to buy Twitter was never going to happen. Even in the best of times he never would have been able to extract that kind of real money from his operation within a short time.

Pledged, but it sounds like it never happened.

But he didn’t donate that much. He was never going to have that money. The other person is showing how close the other guy was to the GOP. You’re being partisan here.
