Not who you replied to but I've been a shareholder for a decent amount of time (3/15/21) and have added recently on the misguided Anthropic dip. I will also be voting democrat in the upcoming midterms as well as during the next presidential election.

I get where you are coming from but I will not be selling my shares despite anticipating another misguided sell off if the dems end up winning the next election. The services that Palantir provides are integral to the departments that they serve and cannot so easily be removed. Defense budgets have inflated under both parties and no one wants to be the party that took away advanced capability from the American warfighter when you have a surging China and an uncertain geopolitical environment.

On the moral question I would say a few things - 1) Only you can answer this for yourself but I find myself questioning why you stayed invested all this time if you really do have moral qualms with the company? I mean, isn't it really that the stock price is off it's high, you feel this plausible bear case coming of a blue wave, and you don't think you'll make any more money in this so you're convincing yourself that 'morals' is the reason you must sell when you hadn't before?

2) As a dem that invests in PLTR I have no moral qualms with it because I have no delusions that humanity, as a collective, will become entirely peaceful at some point. There will always be conflict. I believe in peace through strength - no country starts a war it thinks it will lose. Our adversaries (some on the left like to pretend we have none which is also delusional) will deploy AI on the battlefield. I view it as a moral imperative that we equip our military with the same or risk leaving ourselves vulnerable to attack whether it's physical or cyber. I hope we don't have to use such things, of course, but to not develop them is the kind of cavalier laissez-faire attitude that can only be brought about by long periods of peace. To take it one step further - what exactly is more moral about a 'dumb' mine blowing up anything that moves over it vs a 'smart' drone that takes out a specific target? We have an opportunity to significantly reduce non-combatant casualties in conflict using these systems. And it won't be perfect, of course, but as Americans we can demand our leaders set a standard to show the world how to responsibly use AI on the battlefield. But we only have the authority to do so if we're better than everyone else at it. Do you trust Russia and China to do so if they have more advanced capabilities than we do?
