    Well we can fully agree, democrats are republican light. The bottom line is most democrats are opposed to rational policies like, removing ICE, DHS, Regulating AI etc… All politicians who are for any of those things, are democrats, no politicians who are for those things are republicans, and the system does not allow 3rd parties. Point is the only strategy within voting… is.

    Primary all centrist/moderate democrats with someone that actually stands with the majority of people. Support those primary candidates as best as possible, and then vote for whoever the democratic nominee is, as I still would hold that the worse democrat is still currently better than the best republican.

      We’re at the point it doesn’t even seem like the dems in power are willing to oppose republicans and are going to do their best to remove anyone in the dnc who would

        I don’t disagree on that… Especially the leaders. Schumer and Jeffries have proven again and again that they find progressives a bigger threat than republicans. However we have seen it is possible to get progressives past them and into power. Aside from violent revolution I don’t see anything else that represents a way forward.

    I feel like you’re not reading the articles you sent me.

    The Politico articles starts with an outline of all the efforts by Democrats to regulate AI starting in the Biden administration and becoming stronger over time. Near the end it mentions Ron DeSantis stands against AI, which is an outlier but fair, and also Marjorie Taylor Greene which isn’t really fair because her party hasn’t actually enacted any such regulations while in power.

    Prospect talks about how the DNC are campaignig against AI and winning, then goes on to talk about Hakeem Jeffries’ new committee on AI and how the 5 members get campaign funds from AI companies, but then it goes on to talk about the Republican bill which preemptively blocks state level regulation of AI and how Republicans are fundamentally opposed to restraining corporate power.

    TheNation says pretty much the exact same thing as Prospect but less supportive of the DNC.

    So you have a party that has a history of Regulating AI, who is campaigning on Regulating AI, and running against a party who is extremely Pro-AI, but you don’t believe it?

      Politco is all about how the dems are testing the waters but seem to be staying on the side of the money (not regulating AI)

      A large part of the reason a small but loud minority of Democrats are only getting louder about this issue is that they see little or no action from the party and believe it’s creating a vacuum that Republicans are filling. Right now, the AI industry has an ally in the White House, but there is an increasing number of skeptics in the Republican Party, and those figures could become more influential in the future.

      They’re all about how the dem leadership is all for not regulating it while some members are upset about it.

        Dem Leadership and the rest of the party vote against blocking AI Regulation, such was the case with the “Big Beautiful Bill”, and established a committee with the express purpose of writing and reviewing legislation over the issue of AI. How is that “all for not regulating it”? At best you could accuse them of not doing enough, which means fuck all for a minority party in the first place.
