Okay. But we still need to overturn #CitizensUnited and take away the ABILITY for billionaires to donate large amounts in the first place.

That needs to be the primary goal. And I don't think most politicians-- in either party, including #EstablishmentDemocrats -- will ever be willing to do so.

Backing politicians because they push back a bit against #IncomeDisparity is fine; but by itself, it is merely a small temporary victory, and is doomed to be a neverending uphill battle.

A price will be paid by Silicon Valley #billionaires for overt support of an increasingly unpopular Trump administration

Both Trump and the #technogarchy have tied their futures to the questionable near future state of #AI. Voters are becoming increasingly wary of the virtues of AI, realizing they and their labor are to be cast aside when convenient. Backlash anyone?

Josh Marshall captures this restiveness well 👇

This return to the Dark Ages with all the thoughtfulness of Atilla The Hun seems to be driven by the arrogance of those who own #AI assets.

The #SiliconValley overlords believe that they are a year or two away from disintermediating academics and scientists through the creation of an #AGI. I have my doubts on that front
