The great idea is just...endorsing the incumbent, who has like a 20% approval rating? Truly another stunning display of intelligence from a billionaire executive. Who says meritocracy is dead?

"Politically toxic positions" that "genuinely excite voters". Hmmm. Strategists seem to love working backwards from conclusions. Politicians are supposed to reflect the will of the people, not the other way around.

C'mon, bro. Most henchman-lookin ass guy I've ever seen.

I am not hopeful that this will make the Democratic establishment do any self-reflecting. But I am hopeful that it will inspire other young progressives to run for office. The world can be better. It's a choice we can make.

Oh my Goooooooooooood

Exhibit 1 billion of why you should never trust AI. Even when it does produce something coherent, if the people behind it don't like what it says, they'll just reprogram it to say what they want instead.

The "pre-nuclear" age of...2003.

"I hate communists, who saved my dad from being tortured by capitalists, whom I love."

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

Reader, she did not learn

If I knew someone had ties to a pedophile ring, I personally would not bring my small child around them many, many times. I actually wouldn't go near them at all! I certainly would not spend hundreds of millions of dollars to help elect them to be President of the United States either.

it’s funny that they’re both on their own personal websites posting their little posts

This guy really played Cyberpunk 2077 and considered it aspirational. Real Torment Nexus energy here.

The average age of a Democrat in Congress is like 70 years old, and yet they still act like a bunch of middle-schoolers. Sick own, guys! Give your opponents free food! That'll fix 'em!

A lot of bogus use-cases for AI so far, but this may be the stupidest yet. What is the point of an artificial opinion? The propaganda writes itself now, I guess.

This is a hell of a thing to read.

Ok well she's free to hurry up and get on with it, but the rest of us would like to stick around a while longer.
