But isn't it doing it manually death by a thousand cuts and doing it with AI tools just death by 100 cuts - so relatively better?
Because it has to be done somehow...
While I agree on your point regarding midterm reckoning, I'm afraid people DID vote for Trump, he even won the popular vote - which is mind numbing: Americans actually WANTED to install a proven criminal and rapist as president.
it is extremely short-sited to think in simple terms like this. what you should be asking yourself is WHY this happened - WHY did all these people come out to vote for Trump. We are not talking here about "MAGAs" - there are nearly not enough of them to win the election. every single state in the United States moved to the right in this election... so you should stop and think this through to figure out why would America choose Trump so that it is not all that mind numbing... there is a reason this happened and you should think about that why that is...
Seems clear that (effectively) nobody is voting for fraud or rape.
But I've thought about it a lot, and I'm still clueless. Something to do with lots of people getting screwed, I guess. But why ordinary folks switch their vote from a party that serves the top 20%, to a party that serves the top 0.01%, that is still mysterious to me.
USA is a two-party system so come Presidential election time one gets to choose between two options. There are effectively two ways you can choose between two options:
A. you are voting FOR one of the options.
B. you are voting AGAINST the other option - hence by default you must choose the other
there is a significant number of people that are in the B. bucket (in my personal circle 9 out of 20 people fall in B. bucket, 8 of which NEVER voted for a Republican in any election prior to this one) and democratic party needs to think looooong and hard about that before midterms and especially next Presidential election
"Maybe more should be invested in education." Yes, and there's a reason why education continues to suffer when it comes to budget and resources. An educated populace is something nobody wants.
I just don’t see the conservative and liberal labels being useful at this point. Trump is a populist who focuses on nationalism, he says what his base wants to hear. My main beef with him is that he is irresponsible and petulant, I still vote for a mix of conservative and liberal candidates actually (voting from Seattle, everyone I voted for this November lost).
> Not the same but when you pick something like "Russia must respect the internationally recognized borders" and you don't apply the same for Israel then you are a hypocrite
Ahem... You're suggesting that Ukraine killed over a thousand Russians and took them hostage, and thereby provoked a war?
That would actually be the correct analogy.
No, Russia simply invaded because it felt it could. The situation is very different to Israel and Gaza and you're deliberately leaving out the fine details that make the difference.
>Ahem... You're suggesting that Ukraine killed over a thousand Russians and took them hostage, and thereby provoked a war?
Maybe, just maybe you could have a look at what Gaza was like before the said event. It was blockaded by Sea, Air and Land. It was oppressed and occupied, not to mention the settler terrorism in West Bank. It is a myopic view to hold that it was peace before the Oct 7 incident.
But the people that now supposedly defend free speech all ARE billionaires.
Musk is a free speech absolutist (his words), yet biases his own companies algo to shove more of his stuff down my digital throat.
I guess everyone is free to say stuff, but not everyone is free to see what people that are non-Musk writing?
