You could've DMed me.
Anyone can help
It wasn't directed just at you.
Actually seems like a really cool practice to allow anyone to pickup the ball on correction in case OP wasn't online.
Especially with an hour time limit. I've come back to replies from 3, 4, 5 hours ago and I'm on here pretty regularly.
You can thank Republican donors for contributing: https://www.axios.com/2026/06/15/republican-primary-meddling-democrats-midterms-ny
They're boosting what they percieve to be "unelectable" candidates in Democratic primaries, but I think this effort will backfire.
Democrats did the same thing (boosting MAGA candidates in Republican primaries), and that backfired big time.
Liberals 0.5 seconds into the DNC being criticized for losing elections and not inspiring interest: "Did an AI write this? Only a robot would want the Democrats to win elections."
It does read like bullet points that I have gotten out of ChatGPT before.
Thats not to say he didn't get his thoughts down and then have AI arrange them
If progressives take over the party then wouldn't you want Democrats to win the elections at least they want a democracy. The right wing has decided if it is a choice between democracy and power they want power.
We want less people addicted to online debate and more people active within their society. What do you think Madani was doing before getting elected. He was on the streets, in the churches, anywhere where people are. Not on a big platform making big statements.
No, we don't want to be fucking led, we are not sheep.
We want our elected officials to do the job they were elected to do, a job they all keep promising to do, a job for which the position exists to do, to work for the interests of the people. Elected officials are public servants, not leaders and should be following the will of the people, not telling the people what that will should be.
Mamdani's policies aren't him leading, it's him serving, serving the interests of the people and doing what we have wanted politicians to be doing this entire time. That you confuse serving, with leading, is a weird fucking rich kid perception of what being an elected official is and it's exactly why rich ppl shouldn't hold office.
You make a really good point there. We dont need leaders and theyre not leaxers. Theyre Representatives. WE tell THEM what to do. Many seem to have forgotten that
Service vs leadership is a false dichotomy. You can (and should) be a leader who serves. Mamdani is serving NYers in a leadership position. He makes the calls and has the responsibility for decisions that serve his constituents.
You can also be a servant who leads. the difference is that centrist democrats don't want to serve or lead. They want to rule over a compliant electorate that isn't permitted to question their actions or judgement.
Just like the right does.
Leadership isn't herding or commanding or necessary even guiding. It certainly doesn't need to be rooted in authority. Leadership can be inspiration, knowledge, observation, deference and delegation. It can mean being a role model or a teacher. I'd argue that the people who are the most effective leaders are the ones who enable others first, and lead by example. Barking orders has awful return on investment compared to building people up.
This dude leaderships. That coulda been right outta my army leadership course, which was surprisingly less about barking orders and more about fulfilling requirements and enabling awesome.
This dude leaderships.
🤢
my army leadership course
🤢 🤢
and enabling awesome

Turns out the establishment dems were the real conservatives all along. Imagine that. 9_9
I mean, from the outside looking in the USA has a conservative party and a fascist party. What America says is left wing politics the rest of the world calls centrist.
It's not that you don't have an actual left in the US. It's that they're either being categorically ignored and/or shunned into social obscurity by everyone else.

I don't want to be led. I want you to do the will of the fucking people, and not the will of the dollar.

And also: capitalism is failing the majority of people by continuing to funnel wealth to those who already have money. Voters are offered a choice between two options, neither of which actually want to solve this, because both major parties are controlled by wealthy corporate donors. The two-party system prevents any third party, no matter their platform, from having any chance at election.
Democratic socialist candidates got elected in NY because Mamdani is demonstrably helping people in actual, tangible ways. The most famous example is fixing potholes. This is a breath of fresh air for voter and is the same "sewer socialism" strategy used in the first half of the 1900s in wisconsin, which focused on pragmatically improving life for the general public...famously by improving the sewer system.

I can smell the LLM a mile away.
It's not the words, it's the structure.
It's not thing A, it's thing B.
Thing C is nothing. Thing D is everything.
Big list generated from the prompt "establishment democrats are bullshit and NYC mayor proves it!!!"
Incredible how "its not x its y" is being weaponized against critics of the establishment. Like, I really couldn't give a shit about Hunter Biden, he's a joke. Also fuck AI, I wouldn't defend it.
But what you're describing is a teaching method. Just because it gets aped by ai doesn't mean all comparisons are AI. Paulo Friere uses it heavily in his pedagogical method. It was also the name of a book series on teaching methods.. Both were written years, even decades, before the invention of generative text.
Its a basic way of explaining complicated concepts, where you not only have to describe what something is, but what it isn't. You are using a negating method by saying that the text of this tweet is actually not worth considering, because it was generated by AI. Its rhetorical sophistry, presented without evidence, to create confusion and cheapen people's ability to explain or understand complicated concepts, and criticize our own reality.
I dont agree with all of his points, but your argument is cheap and socially toxic.
This reminded me of a post I saw the other day on Bluesky.
"As a hack writer, the fact that em-dashes and the rule of three have become signifiers of AI demonstrates that they're not just stealing my job, they're ruining all my favorite tools too."
It's because computers have no chill. The nature of binary is full ham or death. If you had a robot pal and you were chilling on the porch it would immediately propose a scavenger hunt and start bullet listing meditation techniques. Failing that it would put itself on standby mode.

HunterGPT
I am no Hunter apologist by any means, but this doesn't look like an LLM wrote it to me.
Not saying Hunter himself wrote it either; just doesn't look like a machine.
