People want to be ~~led~~ represented.

I was going to say, I think what's clear here is we want our representatives to follow us, not the other way around.

I am nearly certain this was at least heavily edited with ChatGPT

[–] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

Bro same. This is Chat GPT for sure.

It's not a sword, it's a question mark. This is a very normal human analogy.

Yep, "it's not X, it's Y" is signature AI. Hunter needs to learn to write his own damn tweets.

As written by focus group AI. Gobble it up!

Dems: "Wow, the political world sure is polarized right now, everybody moving away from the center and toward the extremes."

Also Dems: "So, what kind of voter should we appeal to? Centrists, of course!"

They can see the end of the game. They have no moves left except to keep extracting what they can before it implodes. They will continue to apparently "do nothing" until they are voted out.

"Nah, centrists are too far left! We need to appeal to conservatives! Someone call Liz!"

Bonus round, reverse the party and do the same with Trump and see how it compares

And unfortunately almost certainly wasting his time.
