Is this supposed to be an indictment of her character or something? Perhaps you're suggesting she's a hypocrite?

In any case, care to elaborate?

What's your point?

If she breaks up Google Search and Gmail, and Google decides to shut down gmail, she'll not have an email service and lose all her email.

This will lead to some interesting discussions during election campaigns...

This is the kind of shit that Democrats focus on that loses elections. Why is this a big campaign issue? Why not break up Walmart while we're at it?

> Her proposal also includes a plan to pass legislation that would prohibit platform owners with more than $25 billion in revenue to participate on their platforms as well. This policy would largely affect companies like Amazon that both run a sales platform and sell their own products on the site.

Seems like this proposal is essentially just anti-trust legislation. I'm all for it. What I particularly like about it is that she's demonstrating her commitment to the citizenry, not to the Democratic party. She's not only going after coal companies or traditional (R) strongholds. She's taking on tech, a left-leaning industry, too. This is the type of bipartisanship I think we need to see in candidates and politicians.

Seriously. It's like they want 4 more years of Trump. It's mind blowing.

Yeah, because Google would totally shut it down overnight without any warning
