The US hasn't had democracy for at least 40 years. The owner class decide who we are allowed to elect (the money filter). The elected enact the policies that the owner class want.
Here is a tweet from Bernie from today:
Lina Khan, Chair of the FTC, pushed to get the non-compete agreement ban passed. Reid Hoffman is the Dem's version of Peter Thiel. He paid Harris $7 million so she will fire Khan and reinstate non-compete agreements once elected.
Results from a 2014 Princeton study that took data from nearly 2000 public opinion surveys over a 20 year span and compared it to the policies that ended up becoming law.
“The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”

The corporate duopoly bought and paid for the government a long time ago. The only solution is a united front based along class lines (working class vs owner class). Everything else is a distraction.
"the donor class"
The Pentagon, under the Biden administration, is currently contracting to Thiel's companies for support in Ukraine. ClearviewAI even handled the facial recognition analysis that identified the Jan 6 rioters. These corporations and are in bed with both parties.
Peter Thiel and his related companies/funded companies Palantir, ClearviewAI, and Anduril so heavily invested in the Ukraine conflict, it is very unlikely that Harris would draw any negative attention to the donor class.
A couple of nuggets from the article for any of you thinking that the Dems are any better:
Anduril is now building a “virtual border wall” for the federal government and Trump, who long campaigned on building a physical barrier on the US-Mexico border, abandoned that promise during his first term and now supports the exact solution Anduril is selling.
Key words being: "is now building" (under Biden)

and:
Though HARPA was not created under the Trump administration, Trump reportedly reacted “very positively” to the proposal and was “sold on the concept.” In addition, before the proposal was known publicly, Trump had called on Big Tech, and specifically social media to collaborate with the DOJ to create software that stops mass murders before they happen by detecting potential mass shooters before they can act. However, Trump ultimately passed on creating HARPA, which was ultimately created during the Biden administration as ARPA-H, underscoring the bipartisan nature of this agenda.
It's a uni-party, folks. The article is worth a full read.
While J.D. Vance has his own controversies, his close connection to billionaire Peter Thiel, who is poised to have unprecedented influence in a new Trump administration, should deeply unsettle every American who cares about freedom, privacy and reining in the surveillance state.
