Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.
Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.
At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.
By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.
I guess it was the initial one where he said the little guy stuff, regardless he doubles down on the partisan politics. This was posted through the official Proton account as well.
Like, he had a bad expense with Chuck and basically nobody including 99% of Republicans showed up to his party … So clearly we should all just forget all the other problematic stuff that Republicans have done.
I think he doesn’t get the part about US politics where most of the time party leaders won’t bring bills unless they’re major flag flying things (like immigration in the Republican House) or they’ll actually pass.

Huh. Maybe I didn’t see everything then? I’ll go digging again

Privacy is neither for either party.
