Harder and harder to say "Vote Blue No Matter Who" with that boot up your throat.
The other side tried to violently overthrow an election, is engaging in record fraud and government abuse, is led by a rapist who's hiding the Epstein files, wants to overturn all civil rights achievements and destroy all workers rights, they illegally toppled a foreign government and are now stealing billions from Venezuela's oil sales, and they are currently trying to rig US elections.
They tried to overturn birthright citizenship, want to undo marriage equality, have sent armed thugs to harass democrat cities, they've called anti fascists and Democratic socialists dangerous violent leftists, and their dumbass tariffs and Iran war have essentially caused a voluntary global recession while oil and defense make record profits.
I take your point but one side is still astronomically worse
The other side tried
And the first side just sat around with thumbs up assholes, because they hate Palestinians and Transgender folks more than fascists.
one side is still astronomically worse
John Fetterman has far more in common with Ted Cruz than nearly anyone who voted for either of them.
There's two sides, alright. But these people aren't on yours.
The "otherside" is literally enabling everything you are saying here. You are being played, there aren't two sides, there are zero for you.
everyonr should vote red

Harder and harder to say “Vote Blue No Matter Who” with that boot up your throat.
Obviously we're way past "Vote Blue no matter who" now. That effort was the last ditch attempt to stop fascists from taking power. If it had worked, it might have been possible to enact safeguards to protect the democratic institutions of the Constitution. Or might not, as it was probably already too late. But it was the last chance we had to prevent the fascist regime and try to salvage anything.
Obviously it failed, and fascists/grifters/looters/christian nationalists/oligarchs now have complete control of the government. They'll do anything to hold onto that power. We'll know for sure in November, but working within the democratic election system to change who's in power is basically futile at this point.
So yeah, it's nice to see that people have finally started supporting progressive candidates in many states and a lot of them are winning their primaries--but sadly it's too late for that now. It's what needed to have been done well before now, starting during Dump 1.0 at the latest, which was the final wake up call. But not enough people gave a shit until it was too late, and most still don't.
If you read that whole page you linked to you would see they haven't produced fake news so much as they consistently misrepresent facts to suit a conservative narrative.
So arguing it could be AI means you failed to actually read their fucking reasoning for the low credibility and bias claims. None of it had to do with facts not being true, but rather presenting those true facts within a conservative narrative. Whitmer is mentioned several times, and in each case it was rooted in real facts but presented with a conservative slant.
Screaming "fake news" is unhelpful.
It's clear they didn't actually vet the source or read what mediabiasfactcheck said then, because at no point did they make "fake news." So the likelihood of this being AI is near zero.
Taking the top line that some group made and not actually looking at the details is not vetting a source, it's taking a quick glance as gospel. It matters that they don't make fake news because it makes this video likely real.
But I mean you do you if you just take a quick glance as gospel and don't actually, you know, fucking read anything yourself.
You're not inspiring confidence in people here when purporting an obvious strawman fallacy. Please quote where I said they're "fake news" as you put in quotes no less.
Second, one demonstrates an unfortunately low level of comprehension skills, given I stated, "Don’t trust this to be anything more than AI" -- which suggests by comparative logic that there are possibly other things I trust equal to or lower than AI.
lmao, jesus. Sorry I asked you to read and ripped a hole in your pulled out of your ass AI theory.
They don't have a history of making shit up. They have a history of being extremely biased. This video has no commentary.
Dispelling the myth of a 2 party system is being a Nazi? Like Clinton said, you need a public and a private position, Whitmer's private position is now public
And you sure distrust them despite there being zero evidence that they make up items like this.
I would distrust their slant, but this is a video with no commentary. What slant is there?
There's a major difference between faking shit and misrepresenting shit.
If their facts are still true, I don't know what to say, but you do you man.
If it were fake as Whitmer claims they could have captured and provided the audio from one or several of the other cameras on them at the time. Theyve had over month to do something. SNOPES confirmed the comments. Democrats dont give AF about the working class anymore than republicans
Lots of Democrats do, actually! But that's another topic. Be careful, lots of Russian and Republican trash on here trying to spread misinformation and stop people from voting Democrats, helping fascist Republicans win in November!
Snopes only acknowledges footage happened and audio occurred but could not independently verify or make out what was said, which means anyone could use AI to inject what they want her to say. They left Unrated.
Do we seriously have to insinuate that people are Nazis every half a second? Could we just like, instead, not do that? Here on the threadiverse?
The point you're trying to make is frankly weaker for it.
The truth is, their point is made weaker for using a far-right trash source with low credibility. Why they used that specific source should raise serious eyebrows.
In fairness, I simply asked a question; how they responded reveals so much more. Though if you're regurgitating the most fringe fucking garbage right-wing media points that just so happens to have wedge-drive the left, yes, I think that raises some red flags.
I will continue to call such people out, and if they instead turned around and went, "Hey yeah you're right, this source is dogshit and Snopes couldn't even verify what was said in the video, so sorry for spreading this bullshit nazi trash" I'd say no harm no foul.
Edit: By the way, I never said they were center-right; I was citing MBFC. Please, I encourage one to read more carefully. Though anyone with half a brain knows by the standards of Overton Window, that means far-right in US politics. If you disagree, then congratulations, you're enabling fascism or should review the rightward trajectory of the Overton Window.
My brother in Christ you already described it as being center-right and now you're exaggerating that to try and make your point more sailient
I agree that its an irreputable source and that the quality of the source should always be pointed out. But if you seriously think using a less than reputable source on a link aggregator site when it confirms their biases makes someone a Nazi I'm pretty damn confident your bar is set cartoonishly low.
I don't care whether you think they have credibility, you can make your case that they don't; calling anyone and everyone a Nazi still damages yours. Your point would be stronger sans that assertion.
I didn't downvote you, but I think you can see lots of others did-- I guarantee you'd be more well received if you left out the heinous personal attacks without adequate basis and just stuck to your very strong argument that the source is uncredible and not something we should trust blindly.
Brother in Christ, I didn't down-vote you, but also, I don't give a shit enough about your opinion anymore to care to read the rest of it. Sorry. Just being honest! I know the sort of tankies and righties alike on here and take zero stock in their down-votes lol. In fact, sometimes I see that is a net-positive :)
I'm not familiar with the outlet but heard about the story on Breaking Points. Since the sub requires an article, I just searched for one and this is what popped up.
Democrats are trash and the BlueMAGA that keep defending them are holding everyone back
The quote is near the end of the audio clip and is easier to hear than the first half of the clip. We need some audio engineers isolating her voice
Isolating vocals on a messy track would actually be closer to audio forensics, which is a pretty specific branch of the audio world. There are lots of specialized tricks that audio forensics experts can use, which would fly in the face of a lot of what traditional audio engineers would consider best practice. Because an audio forensics expert isn’t thinking about best practice for a mixed and mastered track, which is the mindset that most audio engineers would approach the problem from.
That literally describes any government ever. People will always say fuck no, just not all the people all the time. Some people all the time though because they hate the government no matter what.
Her last year has essentially been just throwing darts at a board and riding her time out. Allowing Altman to even enter this state pretty much sums up her current level of give a s***.
Term limited
From the article:
Since she’s riding out the last six months of her lame duck administration, it’s wondered if Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s political aspirations...
This was June 1
Was it a repost? I did do a search beforehand but didn't find anything. Apparently many people were unaware that it happened.
Clear the wax out of your ears if you're having trouble hearing.
You are, knowingly or not, denying the truth. Dip.
Regarding AI data centers, China isn't going to stop building them. Consequently, either the US and other countries build them or fall behind in AI. This should be explained to Americans. Whitmer wouldn't be a good choice for the Democratic presidential nominee. Jon Ossoff would be better.
and all those people who bought nfts are laughing at us because we fell behind too, right?
build them or fall behind
Americans building data centers they don't even turn on. They build centers that can't afford the hardware to fill them. They build centers running dogshit inefficient algorithms. They build data centers that can't turn any kind of profit. They build centers for CSAM. They build centers for bot farming social media. They build centers for drone striking elementary schools. They build data centers for mass producing AI slop to cover up the CSAM, the bot farms, and the child murder.
Why do we want more of these things, again?
Germany, the country that was building the Schwerer Gustav Railway Gun - siege artillery so big that they couldn't actually move or fire it. And the MG 42 machine gun that blinded the gunner with its own exhaust. And the Me 163 Komet, which had enormous acceleration but less than eight minutes of flight time and a high risk of explosion during use.
All of these would make good analogs to the modern American AI development cycle.
Good point but actually 'Gustav' could be moved by railway. It was used effectively in the siege of Sevastopol. The MG-42 was a deadly machine gun because of its high rate of fire. The Me 163 could still glide to catch the bombers after it ran out of fuel.
China is also building more efficient data centers that dont rely on near unlimited amounts of water and resources
It’s a race to the singularity, and whoever gets there first will create and control God. So we need to sacrifice everything to get there before the Red Chinese, or we’ll be living under a Communist Gangster Computer God. After all, sacrificing consumer goods, clean water and basic survival needs is a small price to pay for your only hope for a future.
Commie gangster God sounds kinda based tbh
This guy would disagree
