Yes

The Democratic party has a history of supporting government intervention to prevent mega mergers that could lead to monopolies. For instance, in 2019, Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, called for the breakup of big tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon, arguing that they have too much power and stifle competition.

Agree

Yes, if the merged corporation would have more than 50% of the market share

While the Democratic party generally supports government intervention to prevent mega mergers, the specific threshold of 50% market share may not be universally agreed upon. Some Democrats may argue for a lower threshold, while others may focus on other factors, such as the potential impact on consumers and competition.

Slightly agree

Yes, if the merged corporation would have more than 25% of the market share

Similar to answer 6, the specific threshold of 25% market share may not be universally agreed upon within the Democratic party. However, some Democrats may support this threshold as a way to prevent the formation of monopolies and promote competition in the market.

Slightly agree

No, we already have sufficient anti-trust laws in place to prevent monopolies

While some Democrats may believe that existing anti-trust laws are sufficient, others argue that these laws need to be updated and strengthened to address the challenges posed by modern mega corporations. For example, Senator Amy Klobuchar has introduced legislation to strengthen antitrust enforcement and update existing laws.
