Mark Cuban doesn't want you to send money to Georgia Senate candidates!




For those considering donating to Reps or Dems in the Georgia Senate run-offs, can you please re-consider and donate that money to your local foodbank
and organizations that can help those without food or shelter? Lets put Americans in need above Politics

He must need to be reminded about how a McConnell controlled Senate refuses to pass any stimulus that will benefit the people he says needs to be helped with the food banks.

So, no. At this point the best anti-poverty initiative I can think of is getting rid of the GOP.

Like Kentucky, SC and NC in senate races Im inclined to agree with him. If 2020 taught us anything other than the fact Americans hate Donald Trump, it’s that money really doesn’t buy elections. Good candidates, strong messages, and a motivated local base that isn’t completely outnumbered do.

Than just sexting. He was a full on philanderer, which hey- on the scale of sins is pretty low compared to locking children in cages and inciting race wars but he knew he was way too vulnerable to win if caught.

But the point is Americans dropped millions on that race... it was The most expensive senate race in American history. That money could have gone to a lot better places.

Like how RAYGUN was said to be such a nice guy for giving a street person something out of his pocket, while he was all for slashing all social services.

Yea, the local food bank is good, but adding Dems to make a Senate majority will help tons more people - if it has to be a choice.

send money to the two most important Democratic Senate Races Ever right Now.

Those two Democratic Senate Wins could be the difference between poor people eating or not.

And, helping President Joe Biden with rebuilding America.

WASHINGTON — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says he will vote for former Vice President Joe Biden over President Donald Trump in the November election, despite harboring some misgivings about the Democrat’s candidacy in recent months.

The billionaire confirmed his choice to The Dallas Morning News after mounting a vigorous defense of Biden on Tuesday night on Fox News’ Hannity.

“Yes, I’ll vote for Biden over Trump,” Cuban wrote in an email to The News.

ox News host Sean Hannity asked Cuban on Tuesday if he believes that Biden “has the strength, the stamina, the mental acuity, the alertness to be taking on what is the toughest job in the world, being the president of the United States?”

The Mavs owner didn’t hesitate.

“100%. Absolutely. No question about it,” he said.

Cuban went on to rip the president, saying that Trump “doesn’t want to run a country.” Instead, he said, Trump “wants to run a campaign.” Biden, by comparison, “actually wants to run a country,” Cuban said.
