Five reasons I think the relationship between Democrats and tech broke: 1. The Democrats are fighting tech more aggressively. 2. The “broken deal” between Democrats and tech. 3. Tech is richer than it used to be. 4. Tech is building in areas in which regulation is more of a direct impediment. 5. "I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place... better than we do." https://www.notboring.co/p/why-the-democrats-lost-tech

Why don’t you think tech leaders speak more overtly about what they want the Democratic Party to be? Like the Thiels of the word say what they want Democracy to be but not like “hey this party and platform has changed over time and this is how we think it should best represent the people now”

Ooo that's a good question. They certainly do behind the scenes, maybe they don't want to tweak the people they're working with there? Thiel has certainly helped shape the Republican party.

I can see that - tbh I hope it changes bc clearly it means something to people when leaders speak publicly about what they want to happen haha
