I appreciate ’s take that the real story is more complicated than “Warren used her growing influence post-2016 to deliberately kick tech liberals out of the coalition” but contemporary coverage shows it’s not that much more complicated.

Really? That’s their winning strategy: make more enemies?
How about fixing stuff? The final chapter in tech positive growth vs Communist degrowth struggle for Democrats.

Do you think Mark Zuckerberg, a man who helped promote a genocide, or Elon Musk (a man who smeared someone who rescued children by calling him a pedophile) were ever left leaning in the slightest or are you just lying for money (you're always just lying for money you fucking loser)
I think the next opinion you stated that wasn't built around maximizing your future income would be your first. Kind of incredible for the failson of a failson.
The role Harry Reid played in promoting Warren's rise can't be underestimated.
Am reading Hariri’s “Nexus” right now and thinking that we really can’t leave the tech giants unregulated (as they’d prefer). I don’t want to exile voters from the coalition but regulating tech is existential.
Democrats need to be the “for the people, by the people” party. It’s that simple. The positions they take on every issue should clearly reflect that.
Which is post-2016, as said.
Damn right, Democrats better become an antimonopoly party. It's what people want.
Interesting that you seem to view tech as synonymous with a small handful of very large firms and VCs.
