(7,948 posts)I have Zoomer kids and DU has almost zero clue how bad this is. Nancy Pelosi is making a huge mistake supporting this. My kids are left leaning but as you stated, not beholden to the Democratic party. I am already spending energy to steer my kids away from Kennedy.
Us older Democrats are sticking our heads in the sand if we do not believe this ban proposal has the potential to offset gains made due to the overturning of Roe v Wade. This is a BIG issue with younger potential voters.
There is also the fact that this is another bullshit "think of the children" scam. Not one of them is upset that China has the data and control, these bastards are angry that China has this data, and they do not. This is so that American oligarchs like Peter Thiel can gain control and add the scraped data to companies like Palantir.
They don't want us being influenced by China, they want to be the ones influencing us.
I'm very disappointed in Pelosi and other supporters of this. This does us zero good. It can only harm us in the next election.
