Original: We Can't Let My Former Venture Capital Colleagues Buy Off Our Democracy

The author calls on regulators and voters to resist the industry's growing lobbying power. Reaction online is divided, with some agreeing that tech money has too much political clout and others criticizing the piece as hypocritical coming from an industry insider.
