  • barrel : wtf I love Protonmail even more now

Two weeks ago Protonmail CEO Andy Yen said he likes the Trump cabinet appointment Gail Slater and what she'll do for privacy, saying Dems are not the party of the little guy. Redditors are still declaring they'll be cancelling their (mostly free) service and continuing to have mental breakdowns.

Excerpt from Yen's comment:

This is not going to be a popular opinion, but on the specific issue of antitrust, Democrats fell short. 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. In the aftermath of this failure, great people like former Democratic rep David Cicilline left congress, leaving few strong voices for antitrust left in the Democratic party. In the meantime, at a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

Seeing R*dditors now makes me miss the days of the 2016 Sanders campaign, I think that was the nearest they came to grasping the fact that the Dems are every bit as much beholden to rich scumbags as the Rs. Of course that all got memory-holed once the race came down to :marseyhillary: vs :marseytrump: and we had to vote bloo no matter who.

The funniest part is that Bernie could have won. He had the dem party in the palm of his hand. And the DNC just made that shit disappear out of nowhere.

I'm not a burger and I don't care about the US elections.

I just wanted to see the DNC and FBI fall at the hands of good ol' bernie :marseysanders: and I didn't get to watch.
