DO ANYTHING

AI has taught me something very valuable! That I engage with art to fetishize human creativity. To revel in the artistic choices that musicians, painters, writers, and filmmakers make in execution of a piece of art.

AI has none of that shit. It is less than useless.

Anyone actually doing something? I will believe it when I see it.

Holy shit. Slavery is a job now. If you don't like your boss or want better benefits, you can get a new slave gig!

I mean God damn.

Nixon gave us Roger Ailes, who made sure America would welcome a fascist takeover the next time.

Clearly you are fine with genocide.

If any Democratic candidate says they will at least try to stop the genocide, I will vote for them. That's a red line for me. I can't just wave off the murder of children as an inconvenience. Sorry if you just can't grasp that.

Agreed, and "third party" is not a good option either. Progressives need to run as independents.

Not true! They have all received congratulatory texts and emails.

as a woman, why do you like Nick Fuentes so much?

it just seems like their (definitely coordinated) attempts to create reality are so stupid and cannot possibly be effective... how many actual left or even liberal women are going to soften towards the misogynist Nazi?

I deny it because it is ridiculous. The genocide was executed just as enthusiastically under Biden as it is under Trump, and Kamala campaigned on the same policies.

The leaked stories about attempts to stop the genocide by the Biden admin were always instantly discounted by the reality.
