  • Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats' Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending | Common Dreams

  • I’m not sure how you expected me to glean any of that from “Huh?”.

    In any case Mamdani has been in office less than a month and while he’s done some good I think you should wait a bit before you go calling him some kind of herald of democrat reform. They will likely continue to sabotage him while he’s in office because any successful socialist is a threat to their power and donors. It’s not like New York hasn’t had progressive mayors before.

  • Sorry it’s been a while and I was going from memory. It was more an opposing faction that simultaneously resigned than a separate party and I think they may have just told former donors to give directly to individual campaigns rather than the party.

    Either way they’ve wrested control back already. If you would like to read more, here’s a couple articles about it

  • There was a big progressive victory in NV for the 2020 elections. The progressive Bernie supporter wing successfully took over the party from the establishment dems.

    So the dems formed another party and stole half a million from the old party’s coffers on the way out, leaving the new progressive leaders with no means to pay any of the debts the dems had run up. They took the donor lists with them and started getting all their big donors to move their donations over to the new party they controlled.

    Which is all to say that even when progressives win the democrats will try to destroy you.

  • He owned the website. He controlled it completely. He wasn’t powerless to stop them from making him a mod (which he remained for a long time, even when people pointed it out publicly) and he wasn’t powerless to remove the literal child porn subreddit before it became a national news story.

  • ICE = modern day Brownshirts

  • This may be satire but it does really capture that casual assumption they seem to share that everyone else has the same lust for violence that they do. Most people have to be pushed pretty far to even consider violence, especially lethal violence. For them it seems like every conflict is an opportunity to violently escalate and prove their strength.

  • Chuck Schumer literally governs based off an imaginary republican family he made up in his head who he runs all of his policy decisions by before voting. He has talked about this openly and repeatedly, for years. He calls them the “Baileys” and they voted for Trump.

  • You can’t make it detect it or promise not to make it.

    This is how you know these things are fucking worthless because the people in charge of them think they can combat this by using anti hallucination clauses in the prompt as if the AI would know how to tell it was hallucinating. It already classified it as plausible output by creating it!
