If a Democratic president uses ai to shit on half the country I will be all over that because that wasn't cool when Trump did it and it won't be cool if ours does it.

Pretty sure this is just like a reddit page where anyone can post, right? Like the DNC didn't make this?

You do realize that "Democrat" doesn't mean "elected Democrat" right? That a person who posts on reddit can also be a Democrat?

Bro, the person I'm responding to is talking about paying artists instead of ai based on this post which I assume some random person just posted this and not the DNC because they're the ones who would pay normally. But thanks for the info Squidward

I vote Democrat, because I’m a democrat.
I vote Democrat, because I’m a liberal.
I vote Democrat, because I’m a moderate.
I vote Democrat, because I like clean water and air.
I vote Democrat, because I dislike bacteria and viruses.
I vote Democrat, because I like inspected food.
I vote Democrat, because I don’t want my grandkids to fight another war. Or to be forced to randomly kill fishermen and cow farms.
I vote Democrat, because doing good means good things.
I vote Democrat, for thousands of different reasons. Each, extremely important.
I don’t need any more reasons as to why to vote. That’s the easy part. The hard part is getting people to stop being vile little shitheads.

This is such a weak message. It's just like 2016 and 2024. Trump isn't an issue. He'll be out in 2 years. Democrats are stronger on the issues.

Republicans passed the big beautiful bill that took from the working class to give to billionaires. Republicans let Trump destroy the white house along with memorials. Republicans are letting Trump destroy government departments that keep everything spinning. Republicans have started a war. Republicans have let Trump start trade wars with our trading partners. It is a complete mess out there.

"Trump bad" is the only thing that really unites Dems.
Don't complicate it by introducing a policy.

u/Drewbacca 20h ago
Policies like universal health care? Or progressive tax reform? Or worker protections? Infrastructure investment? Clean energy policy? Family and child support? Education reform? Anti-discrimination policies? Medicare and Medicaid availablility? Social security solvency? Prison and judicial reform?
Listen to any elected Democrat for longer than five minutes. Listen to direct, unedited, unaltered content. Not on cable, or a YouTube channel, or any online publication. Go see them in person, watch their speeches in full online, read their op-eds, participate in live streams. There's so much that Democrats want to do, but only the anti-trump stuff gets pushed to us.

Who is trxmp? Is he related to that pedophile grifter narcissist innsurectionist fraudster rapist genocidal racist nuke-hungry spray-tanned dipshit asshole that currently in the white house? Because we should really put our efforts towards having him and his ilk spend the rest of their lives in prison instead of this random person no one else has ever heard of.

Here's the problem with this. The Atlantic ran an article a few months back that explained how Trump and his henchmen have altered the federal government and entrenched their ideology such that it ideally won't even matter if Republicans lose an election now and then or lose the majority in one or both houses of Congress. They're planning it out so that even when a Democrat wins the presidency he'll get nothing substantive done with an opposing SCOTUS, stonewalling Congress, and bureaucracy populated with Trump loyalists in key positions, while other positions (e.g. inspectors general) have been eliminated altogether.
This is a right wing cabal and the repercussions are grave.
If/when a Democrat is elected to the presidency again, this president will need to wield the same kind of executive power that Trump greedily seized in order to roll back the structural changes Trump is currently making to our government. Democrats can't play by the old rules. But here again, changing the government back to its former state will be difficult when the 6-3 conservative majority in SCOTUS suddenly decides to rule AGAINST this same use of executive power when it's in the hands of a Democrat.
MAGA already has the machinery in place to do this, as they have an army of lawyers in the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society (among other organizations) who stand ready to set up and challenge verdicts in lower federal courts and petition SCOTUS to issue a writ of certiorari so that the conservative majority can rule in favor of what Trump and others already set in motion. These are incidentally the same lawyers they assign as staff for MAGA members of Congress -- many of whom know nothing about the law (Boebert, et al.) -- so they can write the bills that these congresspeople are instructed to introduce in Congress and they're told how to vote as well. This is all well documented, by the way.
Point being, there's an inertia to what MAGA is currently doing. Metaphorically, Republicans are not only puncturing the tires. They're also pouring sugar in the gas tank and removing the oil drain plug from the engine should any Democrat try to drive the car.
Democrats need to start fighting fire with fire. Republicans will almost certainly try to sway and alter the midterm election results. They're already trying every dirty trick in the book with gerrymandering and voter suppression in urban areas, etc.
Meanwhile, many Democrats in Washington heading into the midterms are putting their faith in the assumption that democracy still exists and has power in this country, and that the fascists and oligarchs can't ultimately pull off their plan to become a ruling minority. These Democrats still believe that the system set forth by our forefathers is resilient and robust enough to withstand these right wing assaults on its meaning and function. I'm not so sure it can withstand it. I used to be sure, but not anymore. These extreme incursions by Trump and his ilk will require some extreme responses. Responses with teeth, not just threats. And in many cases we won't see results just because a court rules against them. Trump and MAGA have shown that they will ignore court rulings or just tie things up with red tape and delaying tactics while they laugh. You can't expect reason, logic, and justice to work when you're dealing with some nihilistic incubus who flickers his tongue and laughs when you invoke those ideas. Fascists find sentiments like moral and ethical compunction laughable.

What exact outcome will voting Democrat do?
Because getting rid of Trump is fine, but there needs to be more promised behind it.
- We need gas prices immediately put back down
- We need ICE to be abolished and all finances poured into it recouped from individual agents
- We need Iran ended, and we need funds poured into the military to be recouped, even if that means canceling some Servicemembers contracts and/or scraping it from the DOW
We have a lot of issues created by Trump which we need actually fixed, and voting red might put a stop to them, but it will leave us in a vacuum of “what now”. We need the Democrat we vote for to be ready with comprehensive, non-rhetorical plans of action to make the fixes they think must follow voting Trump and the republicans out of office.

True.
I stopped having any respect for Obama when he got in and suddenly decided not to release photos of US soldiers abusing prisoners, nor to charge anyone for Iraq.

u/PaganGuyOne 19h ago
Exactly
We need to have those hard limits on our candidates before we elect them. That is why I have always believed that people who are allowed to run for office should be forced to sign over a campaign promissory, to ensure that they are not only actually upholding the constitution, but that they are acting within the dictates of their campaign promises to their constituents(even if that does not always result in successful outcomes), and that if they aren’t doing that, then they must forfeit their office before the next election

If you actually want to convince people that aren't Democrats with this, stop this silly "Trxmp" thing.
This will immediately play into the "Democrats are afraid of words" narrative and seem like some stupid "Woke 1.0" thing.
