Presidential candidates don’t talk about policies and plans any more. Instead, they bash each other personally for public opinion points. Surrogates from their campaign spew deniable, connotative rhetoric. Who is willing to discuss real $ and time policy choices?
Sounds like the Nation’s billionaires are taking on the mantle of surrogate policy wonks in an era where the candidates cannot be that clear and survive election because of polarized constituents.
Mark Cuban surrogates for Kamala Harris. Elon Musk is challenged to surrogate for Donald Trump. Kevin O’Leary surrogates for the business investor voice. This leaves everything qualified and deniable. Just the way politicians like it.
