> to make any attempt to enforce antitrust a carrier killer for a politician

Any example of a politician carrier killed by an attempt to enforce antitrust?

[saubeidl]

Biden.

Him putting Lisa Khan in charge of antitrust enraged the tech oligarchs, who then all went MAGA and bought Trump the election.

Didn’t Harris actually raise and spend more than Trump on that election?

[saubeidl]

Yeah but the tech spend was way more effective. Elon took over Twitter.

It seems like you have an unfalsifiable belief. If one side raises more money and wins, it because of the money. If one side raises more money and loses, it is still the money because the other side spend it more effectively.

[saubeidl]

You almost got it. We all lose as long as money determines power in social relations.

So no, they didn't "bought Trump the election".

And the fact that a 3rd party supports an opponent does not kill any politician's career. Biden retired by himself, following his own party's pressure. And Harris is still around, I believe.

[saubeidl]

Of course they did. They used their capital to influence democracy. That's capitalism baby!
