[Nan Yang]

Lol. What is a democracy in your opinion?

I ask you first regarding his accomplishments since you supported Vivek without knowing his background.

It's a legitimate and fair question.... No ?

No, I said to follow him and form your own opinion. I don't need your dumb sermons. I can gauge worthiness of a candidate myself.

From what I repeatedly see. It's a lot of promises over and over again.
Promises that we all know will never be delivered.

Just watch any candidate.

You can only gauge promises ?
Is that your understanding of democracy?
So sad

You’re probably not familiar with how freedom and democracy work. You could have degrees of support and opposition to a candidates’s policy.
People from autocratic and tyrannical nations will find the concept of choice difficult

Atleast we don't require sermons from people who doesn't live in a democracy. We are not debating the merits of democracy here. We all want that system and that’s that.

In 2015, Ramaswamy raised $360 million for the Roivant subsidiary Axovant Sciences in an attempt to market intepirdine as a drug for Alzheimer's disease.[27][30] In December 2014,[31] Axovant purchased the patent for intepirdine from GlaxoSmithKline (where the drug had failed four previous clinical trials) for $5 million, a small sum in the industry.[28] Ramaswamy appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine in 2015, and said his company would "be the highest return on investment endeavor ever taken up in the pharmaceutical industry."[28][30] Before new clinical trials began, he engineered an initial public offering in Axovant.[28] Axovant became a "Wall Street darling" and raised $315 million in its IPO.[31] The company's market value initially soared to almost $3 billion, although at the time it only had eight employees, including Ramaswamy's brother and mother.[28] Ramaswamy took a massive payout after selling a portion of his shares in Roivant to Viking Global Investors.[28] He claimed more than $37 million in capital gains in tax year 2015.[28] Ramaswamy said his company would be the "Berkshire Hathaway of drug development"[3] and touted the drug as a "tremendous" opportunity that "could help millions" of patients, prompting some criticism that he was overpromising.[28]

In September 2017, the company announced that intepirdine had failed in its large clinical trial.[28][32] The company's value plunged; it lost 75% in one day and continued to decline afterward.[28] Shareholders who lost money included various institutional investors, as well as the California State Teachers' Retirement System pension fund.[28] Ramaswamy was insulated from much of Axovant's losses because he held his stake through Roivant.[28][31] The company abandoned intepirdine. Ramaswamy said in 2018 had no regrets about how the company handled the drug;[31] in subsequent years, he said that he regretted the outcome but was annoyed by criticism of the company.[28] Axovant attempted to reinvent itself as a gene therapy company,[33] but dissolved in 2023.[28]
