The battle for the public interest and against wealth concentration is bound up in the need to decentralize the web. Big money political donors are bad for politics just like venture capital is bad for tech. They will never stop trying to convince us that this time, it's different. Please stop believing them.

Meh. We're regularly seeing cases where the big money donors had bet on a losing candidate. Their influence is overstated.

To often folks completely leave voters out of the topic of voting.

It goes into conspiracy theory territory really. We should push back on it.

Similarly with topics involving the internet where conspiratorial talk can actually harm what we have.
