broad categories i know, but is there something there?

among the top three candidates elizabeth warren talks a big game about reigning them in, but she's a walking lie machine so i don't trust anything she says, i'm not sure bernie knows how to use a computer and joe biden is currently trying to check his email by looking in the mailbox.

Big tech owns the democrat party. They pull the strings. They’re a huge reason for the Dems moving further and further left in recent years. Them and Hollywood.

Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, employees give about 97% of their donations to Democrats. That alone tells you everything you need to know about what those fks are up to.

Donations are small taters compared to the control of information flow on the internet.

Tech is deluding themselves about who's in charge. And you can tell because they don't own even their own politicians, which bodes not well for them.

If they weren't Marxist zealots they'd realize Constitutionalists are their best defense. But they won't. So they're gonna get the big ole Federal Dildo treatment soon enough.

well i know what big tech wants to happen, but are the dems willing to go along with it? i think dems have wisened up to the fact that in terms of the power of the purse they're outmatched, but they still have the law on their side. i hope for the sake of all of us that the dems never make that deal with the devil.

It's the same relationship Hitler had with Goebbels.

Look up Cambridge Analytica if you want to learn about big tech.

I forgot about that time oil and coal manipulated search results to millions and censored content they didn't like.

I'd say they're pretty committed to each other.
