What?

Did you ever live in a world before Amazon? People still shipped goods and went shopping

That was sarcasm in the first part

Mate there was a pretty big if

Im under no illusions that they will actually go left whatsoever

Yes AWS is the standard for most of the internet, but do you think Amazon won't notice if a whole bunch of users en masse decide to stop buying things from their warehouses?

This is the comment which you linked to, copied and pasted:

Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: 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.

This doesn't seem like a glowing commendation to me. It seems he said exactly what he thinks happened, and that only one person showed up. He even brings up the fact that Dems could choose the progressive wing with Bernie, but that they chose to follow the money. That's not false either.

I really don't get how this is full MAGA, unless you're stating that anything that praises the Republicans is full MAGA.

Yeah i know the connotations for the west is Hitler and aryan

Not quite the same but if you go to India you'll see swastikas everywhere. For Indians it means something completely different, Hitler just stole it and changed it. If you see a swastika in the west you generally know exactly what you're getting

Not really outside of the west. He's Taiwanese i believe and 88 is considered fairly auspicious

I'm confused honestly - the post I saw just said that he was happy that Trump picked an anti trust person to break up big tech.

Why is that bad? Don't people want the big monopolies broken up?

Wait I'm confused why this is him going full MAGA?

I legitimately don't want the Republicans in charge of anything unless they drastically change their policies, but this actually seems like a pretty decent pick considering the absolute trash that trump has nominated so far?

If she is actually trying to break up these companies that's generally good right? We've been wanting to break monopolies for a while.

If Republicans go so far right that they swing back around to the left I'd be fine with that lol

I'm not voting because of the letter next to their name, I'm voting because of policies. If someone wants to provide universal health care, protect the environment, break up monopolies, stop price gouging, stop hating gay and trans people for no reason, etc. I will vote for them. And yes I understand that the republican party as it is is the least likely group of people to ever do that. But the democrats didn't do it either they just pay it lip service when they want votes.

Vote for actual policies you want, not because someone pretends they're a D or an R.

I've had 5 ACL surgeries and torn my hamstring a couple times and my Achilles. I honestly really love wearing my vibrams. Ive got a couple trail running ones and ones I wear for working out, as well as a pair for just walking around. When it's not shit cold and icy out I wear them all the time. It just feels better and hurts my knees and my back way less after all the damage I've done to them.

Honestly never understood why people were so bothered by them. Would I wear them on a first date? Probably not unless I knew the woman was also into them. But if I'm gonna be in a relationship with you? You should probably be okay with being seen with me in them.

My girlfriend now doesn't like them particularly but she doesn't have a problem with me wearing them anywhere, even to see her family.

That should be a sign that the democratic party has abandoned regular people

I don't think that means what you think it means
