i think most of the dem candidates could have beaten trump the same as biden, provided they still had absolute media control and covid. being a black hole of charisma with a closet full of skeletons in a house made entirely of skeletons didn't stop biden, after all. there is no possible scenario where warren could have beaten trump. she would never stop walking into those rakes.

Warren couldn't have beaten Trump because she's a Republican and no Republican can beat Trump.

This will be true of Democrats post Biden also.

they like having One of the Good Ones to show they're Not Racist/Whatever because My Black/Gay/Whatever friend

and lots of people think they aren't The Bad Ones They Are ACTUALLY Talking About. there was even a jewish organization that came out in favor of the nazis (Association of German National Jews).

i think it was goebbels that said something about how if they listened to every german, they wouldn't kill any jews, because every german was like "okay we can kill all the jews except my friend here, he's cool and not like the other ones".

Yeah it's important to realize that fascists have a problem with the ideological construct of the Other, and this can be separated from any specific individual ostensibly belonging to that category whenever convenient (including for their own conscience).

Trump's appeal being entirely "big bully energy", of course. Something which Zuckerberg sorely lacks. Although hilariously those cold dead eyes indicate to me he has no problem firing people to their face to get his hands on a couple more dollars he'll never need in his life. Whereas Trump likely has never dared to fire anyone to their face in his life but just pretended to do so in a TV show.

Yes, use all that wealth to try to improve yourself (and inevitably fail because it will never be enough because that gnawing sense of inadequacy is a psychological issue rather than a physical one).

Or save all that effort and use it to demean others so you can feel superior instead, a lot less effort that way.
