I do see posts from LLM enthusiasts that boil down to “critics are just mad the computer is better than them at trivia now” and idk, I think *most* critics are just genuinely terrified they’ll never find work they don’t hate that pays a living wage again in the current batshit climate
I have a few folks on here who I'm relatively friendly with who I think this is the core of my frustration and concern with them.
I hope every charlatan individual and institution that has caved to Donald Trump in some way/shape/form is sweating bullets at the rage that is building across this country.
They should be nervous.
Our anger won't be limited to Trump.
We will never forget who abetted this idiot and his chaos.
remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again
O.O
Oh I know the evangelicals are losing their FUCKING MINDS right now.
Oh it absolutely will be. You correct. They'll move the goal posts. But I DO have receipts. And it's what made me lose ALOT of respect for this guy.
It took me awhile but in case you were curious. It was this guy who I know had/has a lot of influence and the whole video title is even about how he's not worried.

*their. That's what I get for typing fast.
I can show you a video of someone legitimately making this basic argument.
I don't know what's funnier. The stuff you outlined or that this ad is being shown over not one, but two fast food joints.
That too. And again, I think folks underestimate how badly that energy stinks to a 60 yr old Black woman in SC.
It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.
And Jackson, as I understand it, had a bunch of OTHER flaws in his campaign and problematic shit that we'd point to now.
Oh yeah. I was strictly speaking ideologically and on policy.
Harris was one of the farthest left Senators during her time in the Senate.
And if Imma keep it real I think one of the reasons Bernie got the questions he did from Black women during his first run was because they legit were trying to give him a fair shot.
And it ain't like Black folks ain't down for socialist policies. When leftists make it clear they also understand how class and race are tied together in the US they tend to do WAY better on that front.
Jesse Jackson's prez campaign was pretty left as far as I looked at it.
This guy liked my comment pointing out the percentages of Black folks who knew what was going on and, by his logic, did the right thing even if they were "being thrown to the dogs" which wasn't happening either but whole other convo.
He ain't trying to make sense.
This is why they're "it's up to the candidates to win votes" argument always falls flat. The long time "Bernie woulda won" when I can legitimately point to the exact two high profile instances that sunk him and NEVER get folks to reckon with it.
And by ugly I mean that in scare quotes cause there's a section of left folks. And I don't even think it's THAT big. Who ain't ready to deal with the reality that the reason they can't get what they claim they want is that they can't convince Black folks it'll actually be workable.
The reason the Hasan Piker/TYT/Jimmy Dore "Left" is so invested in the rehabilitation and redemption of people lost in the MAGA sauce for the last DECADE is because they would much rather form an alliance with literal fascists and white supremacists than with black people.
Black women still turned out for Harris by like 92%. Black men showed up at something like 77-80%.
We still knew the assignment. We knew what would happen. Imma ask you what everybody else excuse was for failing an open book test.
Plus he made a bunch of moves that looked like a man trying to position himself for a presidential run.
But these folks ALWAYS fucking ignore an ugly truth. To win Dem primaries you gotta talk to Black folks and Newsom don't strike me as being good at it.
Newsom was in the news a lot early on as a standard bearer for Dem opposition to Trump and he has the kind of media operation that made his counter trolling seem very present.
He's also has the image of the kind of person Third Wave and a few other centrist dimwits like.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
yeah. We don't believe you.
Trans people just fucking props to them.
Same with Palestinians.
And they just flat pretend Africans ain't real.
Imma keep it real I wasn't for Talrico and I'm not sure ANY Dem can win Texas. I'm not in the state I'd have voted for Crockett and I'd still vote for Talrico in the gen if I were there.
But Veronica IS spitting here.
I’m not trying to hear “Democrats caved” from mufuckas who’ve been walking around bragging about not voting or voting third party for ten years.
Fuck all that.
You gave up years ago.
Why are we fucking listening to you?
Ya'll remember she supported gender affirming care for prisoners right? That was one of the repeated right wing attacks on her but you just wanna let politico tie you round they fingers to make you hate Dems rather then the fuckers actively killing trans folk right fucking now.
Oh this is 100% accurate and I admit that I ain't got a clue what's reasonable for a child at various ages.
