Kamala Harris’s political adviser Karen Dunn seems to have the unusual ability to exist in two places at once. Last week, she both prepped Harris in Pittsburgh for tonight’s presidential debate against Donald Trump, and prepped legal defense strategy in an Alexandria, Virginia, courtroom for Google, which is facing a monopolization lawsuit brought by Harris’s own administration. The first day of the Google trial began Monday, with Dunn, a partner with firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, giving the opening statement in court.

    None of these articles make sense until you reform your electoral system to allow for multiple parties. Until then it basically do you want complete idiots, or a smaller amount of stupid takes.

      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.

        If your point is that Harris’s campaign team is full of people looking out for corporate interests, and that reflects poorly on her prospects for taking the side of the people when our interests oppose theirs … ok. It seems like you got a couple of snippets of evidence supporting that thesis: go, get your ducks in a row, and make a blog post with lots of links laying out the evidence as you see it, and we can consider it.

        Making a headline that’s clearly deceptive when considered to be a description of the linked article (which is totally what it is; there is no wiggle room on this) is not going to do anything but annoy people and get them to vote down your post, even if the information considered on its own is something we’d want to know. Someone else will post it with a reasonable headline, and we’ll vote that one up.

        Unless you have facts to bear about something terrible he’s done in his capacity as her campaign advisor, you’re just casting aspersions.

          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.

            Okay? I mean, Google is entitled to a defense, horrible as they are. But what her BiL does for his day job has no bearing on campaign activities.

            Again, you’re trying to draw a line from him to Kamala, and that’s not reasonable or rational. Either point to some misdeed he’s done in his capacity as her campaign advisor, or stop with the fallacious reasoning.
