“Google, facebook, twitter, microsoft, etc. pulled out the stops to get that treasonous harpy elected.”

Hmm, we all cheered the Citizens United decision as a victory for free speech, but when some corporations use their speech to support a leftie we should cry foul? Nope, not doing it.

I’ll vote with my wallet against those corporations, but I’m not going to be a damned hypocrite and start condemning the system just because it doesn’t always favor our side.

“I’ll vote with my wallet against those corporations,”

Well you can do that until they’ve managed to gobble up their competition, then what will you be doing? The problem here is the scale of what these companies are doing. Just look at what the banks did back in 2007. Left to their own selfish devices, these “retailers” will end up doing the same thing to this country and probably the whole world. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the only tool we have at our disposal will be our government. Unfortunately, by the time we really need some measure of government control. Bezos & Co. will probably completely own the government too.
