> I think most people will agree that empowering the edgelord Shopify CEO is not going to improve most people's outcomes.

This is another logical fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum

> All you need to do is read his tweets to see that he should have less power (much less), not more

I'd like you to make a real argument. What specific tweet of his implies he should have less power and why?

It's not a logical fallacy. You made the unsubstantiated claim that people would want their right to vote stripped from them. I do not think people want guys like this in power: https://xcancel.com/tobi/status/2081155797640171641

    That wasn't a claim, it was a hypothetical.

    What is it specifically about this tweet that means him being in power would have bad outcomes?

    • I'd start with some German guy calling native Canadians who are actively civically engaged "useful idiots" and his suggestion that the unemployed and retried shouldn't have a voice in their community.
