hey, uh, so maybe don't use @protonprivacy
because apparently Elon Musk hand-picking funding bills doesn't count as corporate control :blobfoxdisapprove:
EDIT: In case anyone thinks that Proton has a point here, let's clear something up. Yes, the Democrats are bought and paid for by corporations. But it's also the Democrats who installed Lina Khan, pushed for Net Neutrality, and passed the Affordable Care Act. Yes, Biden forced the railroad workers to stop striking, but then the administration continued to lobby on behalf of the workers and got them the sick days they were fighting for. It's also Biden's DOJ that pushed for the breakup of Google, even if it was Trump's DOJ that started the probe. Do you really think Trump's DOJ would break up a monopoly like Biden's has attempted to? Also gestures vaguely at Lina Khan everything that woman did was incredible, from fighting monopolies, to bringing down the cost of medicine, to promoting the rights of workers. Meanwhile it's the Republicans and Trump who installed a Verizon executive to repeal Net Neutrality, stripped the FTC of its authority to govern labor, installed the Supreme Court who revoked the Chevron Deference, and is now letting Elon Musk pick and choose budget legislation.
Anyone who thinks the Democrats and Republicans are the same on this are so hilariously wrong, it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. Nuance needs to make a comeback in 2025.
Also edited to tag the Proton I'm talking about here so people know I'm talking about the bad Proton and not the Linux compatibility layer. We love you Valve :blobfoxheartcute:

@Rusty @protonprivacy The idea that Trump and Republicans are for workers just because bit corporations have influence with Democrats is a mistake. Democrats are influenced by big business, Republicans are just a bout completely bought by them. The best thing about this administration wasn't Biden himself, but the NLRB and FTC under him.

@Zordrak His FCC would've been good too if the Republicans in Congress didn't block his nominations then the Trump-appointed judiciary didn't block the FCC from doing their job. :drgn_sigh:
Like seriously, I have no idea what the fuck @protonprivacy is talking about.

@Rusty @protonprivacy My only hope is that not being an American company that they aren't as familiar with the state of our politics. In 2016 I thought Trump would have been better on some issues, only to be proven wrong in his first term. Granted, even in 2016 I said both candidates were pretty horrible. It's something I'll certainly be watching.

@Zordrak @protonprivacy To put it bluntly, I don't care what country someone is in, if they don't know that Trump is a corporate-bought fascist then they're either lying or willfully ignorant. Endorsing Trump for being anti-corporate would be like me endorsing the AfD for making Germany an open and inclusive place, or tipping my hat to the Tories for bringing about greater British and European unity. While I could have told you in 2016 that Trump wouldn't stand by anything he said and would bring the country backwards, I do kind of understand the desire back then to have a political outsider with promises to rebuke the system. There is, however, absolutely no excuse in 2025.
