Be the change you wish to see, don’t cherry pick a single article specifically about tech, here’s just a couple about Warrens plans to break up both banks and pharmaceutical companies: https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/15/warren-calls-for-breaking-up-the-banks https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/15/warren-calls... https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kzvy4w/elizabeth-warren-is-trying-to-break-up-big-pharma-cartels-by-letting-the-government-make-generic-drugs https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kzvy4w/elizabeth-warren-i... https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/17/elizabeth-warren-bill-drug-manufacturing-prices-1067916 https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/17/elizabeth-warren-b... https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-warren-eyes-white-house-big-banks-brace-for-browbeating-11548671401 https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-warren-eyes-white-house-big-... While I think “are you trolling” could come off as a bit harsh, it’s better to confront bad faith actors than to engage with them.

I think your links prove my point, actually. The article you provided is from 2015; her talk about breaking up Big Banks seems to have stopped once she started campaigning and platforming for her current run. Since then, she's focused on Tech. Regarding Pharma, she's talking about allowing the government to produce generics i.e. increase competition to the coporations, which is very different than actually tearing a company apart using antitrust legislation. I don't think even Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos would have an issue with it if that's what she was trying to do with Tech.

  Suddenly the goalposts have shifted from Warren unfairly targeting tech companies to Warren unfairly targeting tech companies with anti trust lawsuits

    Ironically, you're the one moving the goalposts here. The topic at hand is warren proposing _BREAKING UP_ large tech companies, while not doing the same to non-tech companies. Please stay on topic.

      Elizabeth Warren has made calls to _BREAK UP_ big banks and pharma companies for her entire career. She has literally used those exact words SEVERAL TIMES idk what to tell you. She is not targeting those industries with anti trust legislation because it’s inappropriate. Antitrust is not the only means with which to disrupt or break up companies. I’m perfectly on topic dude, you griped about how Warren is so unfair to the poor tech companies but there is an insurmountable wealth of evidence that she has had various problem industries in her sights for _DECADES_ Your ONLY rebuttal was to mention anti trust laws, which is ignorant at best. This is currently topical because people are currently talking about it, that doesn’t mean she is leading a disproportionate effort to dismantle tech companies.
