This is obviously not ideal but what would have been a better alternative?

Democrats are pushing anti tech agenda without understanding the consequences. And this is not because democrats are stupid, it’s because there’s a large population who feels the same way.

Is this some kind of joke? Do you Americans really think this is okay? Bribing presidents and influencing future elections with multi millions of dollars?

What does this all still have to do with Making the World a Better Place and all that other dumb shit Stanford and Google and all these other Silicon Valley institutions blurted out for decades?

Do they? I would like to read more about that, could you please point out an article or source? I'm not a US citizen nor I live in the States, but I am curious.

Tech is one of the most important tools in propping up a fascist state, through digital share cropping, surveillance, and propaganda. The right is currently, and has been, on a descent into fascism. The left understandably does not want that.

Ergo, they have an anti-fascist position, which currently also means they have an anti-tech position. And yes, I work in tech as a developer.

"Democrats made Trump do it". Classic bullying speech.

    Eh, I take it as more ‘duh, what did you think was going to happen’?

    Which at the national politics level, seems fair.
