I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.
Candidates, as you said, not candidate. Again, that means there’s a choice. Having a single candidate per party is normal, most democracies work like this. But there are multiple parties, so multiple candidates can be voted for by the people at the general election. I am confused why you don’t consider this difference with a single party system. Please explain.
I think you missed “The Party”, there’s a single party so there’s no choice. Although the two parties situation in the USA is also bad for democracy.
Also I think Russia is way more interested in destabilizing Western countries while China is focused on Asia and Pacific.
There’s no sizable USA conservative group who think Charlie Kirk was far right? It seems there’s quite a gap between socially liberal and Charlie Kirk.
There’s also a lot of manual human labor to build LLMs, I was surprised. From exploited African data labelers who have to shift through the most horrific things the web has to offer and remain traumatized for life, to highly paid domain experts who work on improving final results so it ends up looking like a simulation of themselves.
