It's another telling example of just how far-left Democrats in the White House spooked Silicon Valley heavy hitters
See... the rest of the world -- and the actual American far left -- consider Biden's White House right wing.
And unfortunately, I'm afraid that the only way Democrats can salvage the situation is by passing actual left-wing policies:
* Zero out all student debt
* End all support for Israel
* Nationalize the insurance industry and roll it into Medicare
* Restore 50% and 90% tax brackets (and apply them to every form of income)
I don't think that any of these are good policies. And I really hate that Democrats would have to pander to them in order to "excite" the actual far left.
But they've got the decision power. If they don't show up, Republicans win. Such an outcome is clearly worse for them in every way, and yet they are willing to make good on the threat.
Perhaps a few years of seeing what an actual far-left government looks like would reset the national discourse a bit.

We just had that, including a completely open borders policy and the government actively flying in illegal migrants all over the country. As a result the national discourse changed a huge lot and the country massively turned pro-republicans.
