I'm all for this...

But aren't the Democrats also kinda the party of Big Tech?

It would be amazing of campaigns start having a Fediverse presence, but still.

The deep-pocketed tech industry of Silicon Valley has historically voted for Democrats. But in the last month, a cadre of tech executives has risen up for Donald Trump, both on the grounds that he will be friendlier to the industry and that President Joe Biden was unfit to serve a second term.

Also because JD Vance is a Peter thiel acolyte, one of the founders of PayPal, the global spying company Palintir, and an early Facebook investor.

Theil is an avowed monarchist that wants an American king, has come out and said that woman should not be allowed to vote. He pumps endless money into "think tanks," crackpots and political races like Trumps to push an incredibly extremely brutal "the rich are your betters" policy forward in this country. This included dropping 10 million on Vance's Senate run in Ohio.
