I mean, part of the problem is that those who self-identify as 'libs' understand it's a big tent and hate some of the leaders. But the leftist straw man of 'libs' is that we all love chuck schumer

Yeah, I have been lowkey kind of fascinated by this genre of post, which really does seem to vindicate the "everything is just perception via social media" theory of politics.

Like literally after I transitioned multiple people told me that I wouldn’t qualify for DEI because Asians and men don’t count

I am not a blanket llm skeptic but the discourse is so polluted because almost all the difference is in how you use an imperfect tool which was already a problem that existed with search engines
