A bid to break up Alphabet Inc.’s Google is one of the options being considered by the Justice Department after a landmark court ruling found that the company monopolized the online search market, according to people with knowledge of the deliberations.
What we really need is President Biden. This is all happening thanks to him. There’s some hope that Harris would continue his policies if elected, but there are strong rumours that some donors are supporting her with the agreement that if she wins she gets rid of Lina Khan.
This is not going to be over by November. That’s why we need Harris.
No on both counts. Don’t give him credit for other people’s work.
He might have been the final one to sign off on them, but cabinet appointments are decided by committee and I guarantee you that the former Senator of the most corporation-friendly state of them all wasn’t the one who suggested Lina Khan OR Lauren McFerran at the NLRB.
Again, it’s not HIS policies. Stop giving the old man with 900 years of conservative policies the credit for the stellar work of young women many times as progressive and in touch with the realities of regular people as him.
It’s not like she’s doing these things behind his back.
The progressive wing of the party might have pushed him into accepting her appointment, but he still appointed her and she’s kicking ass.
Nope, but she IS doing it without his help, so he’s not due any of the credit.
Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.
Absent pressure from the progressive wing og the party, he would have chosen someone older and more palatable to his owner donors.
He does NOT deserve credit for her work just because he relented to the pressure from people more pro worker than himself.
He’s her boss and he appointed her, he does deserve credit for selecting her and sticking with her.
And he’s her boss, so he deserves credit for hiring her and backing her.
Other people selected her in spite of him and he relented and he’s refrained from firing someone without cause.
Neither of those are achievements and just because he’s the boss doesn’t mean that he gets to take credit for HER work.
Nope, see above.
Do you have any source on him actively backing her, beyond just not firing her without cause?
Yes, she’s his subordinate
That’s not actively backing her. You have a very distorted view of the relationship between a boss and an employee.
Hiring her for a job she’s qualified for on the advice of others and then not firing her is a passive lack of opposition at best, NOT active support.
You can make up all the arguments you want.
Biden was a moderate democrat in congress.
As president, he’s been far more progressive than Obama. Probably the most progressive on workers rights since FDR.
Cabinet choices matter, and he chose them.

Atleast read up about his presidency before making stuff up.

I considered blocking you the other day when you were defending the Venezeulan dictator. Given you just told me to fuck off, I think I will now.
