Oh hey, he's saying the thing the Democrats should have campaigned on.

And that’s basically it!
These authoritarian populist tactics, after those people who voted for them (or will be able to vote) will say like "and you said that this person is bad!"
They use the same tactic in Russia regularly. When politicians destroyed life of millions of people, after some time one poitician in Duma will say the right thing or propose a law for popular social issue, like "we're against domestic violence" (domestic violence is common in this shithole), or on "elections" they will offer sausage or money for a vote to population.
I don't know what they are trying to achieve by that, but maybe that people will restore trust in them, and will continue to believe that "BS-democracy". And after that these politicians who support dictatorship will continue to launder resources from the country. But in Russia they do that because they need people to participate in pseudo-elections, that will legitimize their fascist regime.
Don't worry JD, this will sort itself out thanks to Zuckerberg and Musk driving people to alternative platforms.
That interview was interesting
She kept trying to get him to fall into traps or get angry but he was calm and respectful the entire time. This man is someone who can talk.
He lies and twists facts constantly. Plus he’s annoying as hell, for whatever that’s worth.
But his entire political career was purchased by big tech! Is he a malfunctioning robot or something?
"... too much more power than me"
"the big tech that we do not directly control has too much power". FFY
JD Vance says some tech companies won't play along with Proj. 2025.
In other words, he’s suggesting his pockets need a little more lining.
Especially couchdb. Couchdb needs to get back in the kitchen where she belongs.
Good cop bad cop?
Probably. If I were Vance, whether the Never Trump thing was genuine or I was just a power hungry asshole, I'd be positioning myself to look like the sane one in the administration so that I could remove Trump via the 25th in 2027 and be hailed as the guy who saved America from him. I'd also be egging Trump and Musk on to be as terrible as possible as publicly as possible.
wow, really?!
Can't be
Big tech.... Besides Google, Amazon, Facebook (meta group), twitter and Tesla.
Good thing those guys are all small fish. Lol /s
I agree with the statement Vance said about big tech having too much power, but when you look at who the president is cozying up to it sure doesn't look like he's going to be big on pulling power away from his new buddies.
We shall see though. Trump is a notorious loose cannon. He could random turn on them at any point.
Who would ever give a shit what these clowns think? How is this news?
Oh right we're violently controlled by these wackos...
Leopards are actively eating my face but it’s probably fine. In fact, I’ll give the leopards several billion dollars and then they’ll like me. God, I’m lonely. But the leopards are always there.
President Musk isn't going to like hearing that from you. Get back in your hole!
They buy one election, and suddenly they have "too much power"...
Politicians of today are spoiled rotten
Good news! Something called DeepSeek apparently just dunked on your big tech by cutting the Nasdaq 3% and talking smack about your mothers.
Oh my god he admit it.
