It's not going to happen. Especially if the rumours of Harris replacing Lina Khan are true.
Don't get your hopes up. The US political class is far more pro business than people here would like.
I don't think she understands how much people adore what Lina Khan is doing.
I doubt she cares. If she's ever challenged, all she has to do is say "but Trump would be worse" and millions would fall in line.
And I sincerely doubt Lina Khan is a line in the sand for pretty much any Democratic Party voter. They'll hold their nose and vote for Harris as long as her positions are marginally better than Trumps.
The crazy part is that the threat is real. Imagine not voting for Harris in the US because of perceived antitrust fears and ending up with 6 Trump Supreme Court justices who spend the next 40 years turning the USA into a Christian nationalist state.
You don't have to imagine it. You will get to live it if you don't do one specific thing. Show up at the polls and vote blue.
It won't save the world. It will buy four years. If that's not good enough do what you should have done four years ago, keep these discussions alive. Make Kamala regret ever wanting to be president by forcing her to make the right decisions. Also, since she never won a presidential primary force the Dems to have an open primary in 2027.
I know I can't make any of this happen. WE have to make it happen.
