MODERATORS
On the surface, yes. Look up Gail Slater and then decide if you really think she's going to do anything about monopolies. Her career since leaving the FTC has been spent defending them.
The thing is, I don't really care about her, I don't know what she is going to do. My focus in this whole debacle has been mostly on making sure we are discussing about what was actually said. Anybody can have their own opinion on what she is going to do or not do, and it's totally fine to have a conversation about that and dissent. They are speculation either way and fully opinable on both side, we can only wait and judge actions anyway. However, thinking that she is going to do well is not equivalent to be a Nazi by association, supporting Trump in general or anything like that.
