Almost zero chance this happens, imo. Big tech spent _heavily_ on Democrats (98% of contributions [0]) and the Democrats have complete control for the next 4 years.
an awfully prescient allocation of funds.

- senkora 6y agoNit: Congressional elections are held every two years, so complete control may disappear in 2022. If you’re implicitly depending on the presidential veto to block Republican attempts if they take control of congress, then yeah that’s fair.
- binaryblitz 6y agoWill be interesting to see what happens to the GOP over the next two years. I'm thinking there could be a split.
