The slogan "abolish Palantir" is a bad and overly simplified critique when framed as something the Dems could unilaterally do but refuses to. Private corporations can't just be legislated out of existence overnight. Reducing complex public-private entanglements to a catchphrase misrepresents how power works and risks leaving people disillusioned when, inevitably, no party -- even a willing one -- can deliver on something that was never realistically in their power to begin with.
A better critique would focus on what power actually allows, like ending federal contracts with firms like Palantir and SpaceX, enforcing stricter procurement policies, challenging surveillance and policing budgets, and confronting the military-industrial complex that enables these companies to thrive in the first place.
These are systemic issues fostered and exploited by these vultures. These battles should be fought through a real political program that makes bold, meaningful demands of Democrats, not with empty sloganeering like "abolish Palantir" for internet clout. We need to force them to use their administrative and legislative authority to starve the beast of federal support by reshaping the ecosystem that feeds it.
I hate to say this, but Nap was somewhat right. Simple slogans can get in the way. They may start out as rallying cries, but too often they become vulnerabilities, either because they're so vague they need constant clarification, or because they're so absolute they become easy to weaponize by opponents or to disappoint supporters. That's not me saying we should give up, just that we should move beyond slogans to plainly state our demands.
i mean, they're a little unserious
who should actually be blamed for Kamala losing Michigan. You live in an alternative universe
