Not_mikey comments on The Tech Industry Went All in on Trump, and Now They’re in Serious Danger Now That Americans Have Turned on Him: They gambled... and lost.

No single decision gave me more faith in Mamdani than snatching Khan for his team. When I was a young man, I realized that no high-level leader can possibly do the job and that role's most important skill is picking a competent team. I about screamed when I saw her under his wing!

Hah, just commented on Khan! I've never in life had been so in awe of a bureaucrat. That woman is my hero and I wish she knew it.

Mamdani snagged her for the team! She LIVES!

They will if you get off your butt and hold your Dem reps accountable instead of whining on Reddit.

I live in San Francisco and my new rep had his campaign funded by a cohort of tech billionaires. I could call him every day and it won't matter, this election has shown billionaires run the politics in this city.

Same goes for almost every other dem, they're going to be afraid of AI companies funding their opponents so they won't do anything. Look at crypto, it's an obvious scam defrauding millions of normal people but no legislation has ever been passed because they have money.
