In what way have you addressed the OP's insinuation that I was responding to? I asked a specific question: > Why does that say anything about either side specifically? I agree with you on a point: we can draw conclusions about SBF by examining SBF's behavior. But that is not what OP said -- OP said that we can make conclusions about the left by examining SBF's behavior. That is what I take issue with. That you continue to focus on a strawman, whether or not he donated to both sides equally, is completely uninteresting. Good day to you, I do not wish to further this "conversation" as you continue to talk past my point. Sea lion.

I addressed it in the last post. Let me try and explain it in simpler, easier to understand steps that doesn't force you to use critical thinking. SBF was breaking the law and he knew it. He wanted a get out of jail free card so he went and donated money to politicians/groups willing to help. His behavior shows that he was willing to find politicians that he thought may be able to help him down the line. The donation records show the left appears to be the side more willing to do this as that is where 2x more money went. Again you insult me rather than having a discussion.

  Ah, thanks for saying what you mean instead of relying on vague insinuation. It really does help to spell it out like that. So, yes, we have evidence that he donated. But I have yet to see any that the recipients were willing to help. And yes, he probably wants a get out of jail card ("free" being a debatable point here, on one hand he spent a pretty penny but on the other hand the money was not his). But let's not forget the context: he's over his head in legal trouble right now and nobody is rushing to save his idiot self. Trump shamelessly pardoned his cronies. Biden has that power in this situation. Does he use it? What does this say about "the left" again?

  Assuming the donations achieved their full utility, otherwise he would have just donated more money - The donation records show the right are just cheaper to buy, nearly half the price.

    Are you seriously using the "rational investor hypothesis" to SBF right now? Economists have the wildest hot takes.
