From the Daily Caller: Mark Pincus, lifelong Democrat and billionaire founder of web game developer Zynga, announced he’s voting for Trump in a Sunday night tweet.
“I am voting for Trump,” Pincus wrote Sunday, noting that he previously donated over $1 million to each of the last four Democratic presidential tickets, “including Biden/Harris.”
Pincus, who is Jewish, cited Trump’s stronger support for Israel, saying he believes “America and Israel will be stronger under Trump.”
He also insinuated that Harris and the Democrats are anti-First Amendment.
Pincus, 58, who has an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, acknowledged that his vote really won’t matter, since the state of California is already a “one party state” that always supports Democrats, but said he felt it was still important to make his decision known.
Below is his full statement:
I am voting for Trump. I have been a lifelong Dem, supporting the past 4 presidential campaigns at $1m each (including Biden/Harris).
This past year i have seen too much.
Israel is America’s most loyal ally and the only Democracy in the Middle East. It is fighting Iran on 7 fronts and yet it can no longer trust the US.
Anti semitism in America is reaching levels not seen since pre WWII.
And there seems to be a war against freedom of speech. Happily MSM is no longer trusted but if our sources of free speech like X are censored we move a step closer to Russia and China where the state is the only voice allowed.
I know America will continue to be great under the Dems or Trump. And yet i think America and Israel will be stronger under Trump.
My vote does’t matter since i live in a one party state. But i feel it’s important that I state my position anyway.

Charlie Cafazza wrote, “Mark, this made my night. Watching you wrestle and struggle over this election has been hard to watch at times, but you brought sincerity and integrity to this platform in search of truth. Welcome to the Unity Party. This coalition welcomes you with open arms. Let’s get to work!”
Pincus responded, “Thanks. It has been a struggle. But the minute i questioned the Dems i started getting bullied and attacked by the left. Shaming isnt a winning strategy.”

Huge respect for you voicing your stance publicly.
More people in the tech world need to stand up and say something.
We’ve watch San Francisco turn into a disaster over these progressive policies and everyone was too afraid to say something so it got worse and worse.
