Oh no.

They’re going to politicize data centers and all of AI now, which means MAGA automatically gets on board.

Wonderful.

But Democrats aren't dummies. They see the same polls and are moving fast.

I’m not looking forward to this, either. To be more specific, Sander’s proposal for a national investment fund in frontier labs is one of the most horrific ideas I’ve ever heard. Now there's going to be a flood of similar ideas from politicians who, frankly, don’t know the first thing about the space.

    lol the last decade has proven the contrary. I hate the MAGA party, but their rise to power is littered with the Democratic Party’s fumbles.

    The Democratic Party desperately needs a changing of the guard to people with actual fire under their asses and don’t just exist to enrich a different group of billionaires. Mamdani is a good example of this.

    For the most part, the Democratic party has only existed as controlled opposition. They fumble by design.

    Now we have actual grassroots third-parties with an actual chance, and actually winning someplaces, because by and large the "democrat" base has realized voting democrat is just delaying horrible policy, not preventing it.
