    Read what he wrote. He said Dems used to be for the little guy and the Republicans were for big business but now the tables have turned…

    So now the Republicans, party of billionaires, is for the little guy and Dems are for big business?

    Controversial no doubt.

      … Are you seriously claiming the dem party is not a party of billionaires? Soros? Gates? Bloomberg? Hoffman?? I could go on.

      What little business policies have Dems put in place? Seems to me the biggest dem states absolutely demolished small businesses during COVID, and have not done a gd thing to rebuild them.

      Bush-era republicans haven’t done a gd thing for small businesses either, don’t get me wrong, but it’s so dumb to say the Dem party is for the little guy.

      How is that controversial? Harris lost because she was so fucking pro-corporate. Same thing happened to Hilary.

      They’re both pro-corporate parties, and breaking up the trusts is progress.

        They lost because they tried to convince trumpers to vote for them, ignoring everyone else.

        Yeah, but surveillance is also high on the fascist agenda, so you’d think a company pitching privacy would be more concerned about approving of anything they do.

          He didn’t say Trump has good policies on surveillance. The two corporate parties in the US are terrible on privacy.

            He said the tables had completely turned, that the Reps were now supporting the small guy. It’s idiotic at best, dishonest at worst, to assume that such praise will change anything about the fact that the incoming US regime will seek to undermine Proton’s stated objective and prime selling point. Even if they somehow followed through on those antitrust expectations, I have no doubt it would double back into serving corporate dragons in the end.
