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.
