I think we would get along fine irl.

I never said all corporations are bad. I said corporations (as a group) have too much power. I would say any Democrat who thinks corporations have the right amount of power in our society, or maybe not quite enough, is probably a corporate Democrat.

A bit of a Freudian slip, but you described the problem well: "corporations create the legal and regulatory framework...". Our lawmakers should be creating the legal and regulatory framework that corporations operate in. Far too often corporations do it themselves by buying the politicians.

No, I don't want everything socialized. Just because people believe they and their fellow citizens can work together to make things in their community better does not make them "socialists."

Me, too. 🙂 I would like universal healthcare to be regulated in a way where access to healthcare is controlled by govt but delivery of health is private. Btw, I think the post office should stay as a govt service, and I also think electric/gas utilities should be public entities (aka, "govt").

Nice straw man, though.

False. I am centrist, capitalist Democrat, and support El Sayed, but I'm not a corporate Democrat. I just think we've given too much power to large corporations and we need people in office who are able and willing to start shifting the balance back the other way.

To be clear, I don't think all corporations are evil. I do think we need to start enforcing antitrust laws more aggressively (the way they were intended), and I don't think corporations are people.

Look, these are jokes, but the truth is there are a lot of rational people who are not corporate Dems, so I'll stick with corporate Democrats, thanks.

Rational? As in, "It's only rationale to allow huge corporate mergers because the resulting companies will be even bigger and more profitable?" 0r, "it's only rationale to treat corporations like a person?" Or, "It's only rational for politicians to take all this dark money from corporate PACs?"

Kevin O'Leary doing all this is very gross. Doing it while double fisting ostentatious watches makes it all that much more offensive.

Okay so what if I told you there are lawmakers currently making bets on what the laws will be? And it’s called stock trading

Sounds great, let's go.

Imagine if you mailed the IRS a check to pay your taxes, but they left their mail unopened for years and then arrested you for failure to pay taxes. That’s effectively what ICE is doing to increasing numbers of people now; people out of status only because of GOVERNMENT delay.

Humans did this. Humans ordered the machine to act, humans trained the machine to act, humans failed to secure the machine, humans connected the machine to the external Internet. Humans are responsible for every part of this.

Because women being hurt is not as important as Elon's profits and Grok's ability to create porn.
