From the article

If we’ve learned anything about Harris thus far, it’s that the truism “personnel is policy” will prove to be especially relevant for her campaign and future administration. The strong parts of Harris’s economic platform are in small measure a credit to her bringing onto her campaign two of the more progressive advisers from the Biden administration, Brian Deese and Bharat Ramamurti.

But others in the Harris brain trust are trying to swing the campaign in a more business-friendly direction, on things like crypto or capital gains taxes where she’s broken with President Biden.

Dunn has just been a debate prepper to this point. But her involvement as lead counsel in a case where Paul, Weiss has been accused of dirty tricks in a case against the government demands more scrutiny. Especially if that is being done to damage a personnel appointment in Kanter, who has been one of the Biden administration’s most effective officials.

She and her advisor are one of the same. That’s why the post is titled as it is. Let’s not soft pedal this.

That’s not my point. Her brother in law is an Uber lawyer and at the same time advising her campaign. Similarly, her campaign advisor is defending Google in an anti-monopoly case. She is big tech friendly is the point I am making.

Agreed. We absolutely need to reform the system in particular do away with Citizens United which deems corporate donations as a legitimate form of campaign funding.

And just to be clear - my purpose in sharing this article wasn’t to discourage people from voting for Kamala. It is to inform people on where she stands on the issue of fighting big tech. We escaped Reddit for a reason.

They are both large tech companies. Different sectors, same industry.

Her advisor is actively involved in defending Google from the anti-monopoly suit. This is what distinguishes her from the Biden administration, which has actually made an attempt to fight Big Tech by bringing this suit against Google.

This is about keeping politicians accountable. I find it incredibly lazy that anytime a favored candidate faces criticism, people assume it must be Russia.

What are we all on Lemmy for anyway?

So we can also ignore the fact that her brother in law, the lead lawyer for Uber, is advising her campaign?

There is mounting evidence Kamala will not fight Big Tech.
