That isn't what works in politics...
What works in politics is knowing which levers to pull, and having the money or influence (in the right paces) to do pull them.
- dageshi 9y agoI think he has all that stuff as well? He's certainly got the money and he's got a big lever named "facebook" which gets his message infront of a substantial portion of the US voting public.
- saurik 9y agoI am (anxiously) waiting for the "have you voted yet?" reminders Facebook has been using to get people to the polls in recent elections to turn into "have you voted for the Zuck yet?".
- abhi3 9y agoCan't do that. Zuck can't use FB resources or any form of support from FB (other than employees who volunteer outside work hours) for a political campaign. If he does he'll have to reimburse the fair value of services received from campaign funds.
- jrs95 9y agoBut what if it were done on behalf of a super PAC that just happened to be in favor of his campaign?
- abhi3 9y agoIt would be legal as long as there is no coordination with the campaign but I can imagine enterprise ending class actions against FB by minority shareholders if the Board violated their fiduciary duty to shareholders by involving FB in the campaign.
- jrs95 9y agoOh no I don't think that's typical what works in politics at all, I think that's what would be beneficial in actually governing.
- flukus 9y agoThat's what's broken in politics.
