the segway worked exactly as intended it just had no compelling use case. still have a soft spot for it. that seems different from generative AI which has a number of well known issues that interfere with its proposed uses

i mean specifically, name them. this theory seems so outlandish to me that i’m wondering what the evidence is that this bad press coverage is a part of anti-biden campaign, especially when given the debate performance such coverage feels warranted. it scared me!

what’s the hypothetical motivation for the media doing this? is it an uncoordinated action with incentives that apply to all journalists, or did they all get together and organize it in a secret meeting? what are the mechanics of this supposed conspiracy?

What about the "supporting evidence from the text"?

something i’ve noticed arguing with biden supporters online is that when they lose they argument they accuse you of being robot. it’s like a law of nature

the fascist lies and his supporters like him more, he plays to his audience and it works. biden struggled to complete sentences the whole debate. it was the worst debate performance maybe ever. why are running defence of it? a healthy party intent on winning should welcome honest feedback.

The debate was all the evidence needed. Things like that don't happen only once. If he was a Republican you'd be all over it. This is fixable, I don't get what all the denial and conspiracizing is all about. Just replace him!

If you think what commentators are saying about Biden right now is mere contrarianism you're deep in denial and I feel sorry for you. Right now, Dems lose the election if Biden continues running. Don't you want to win?

the concern is that biden is too old defeat trump, of course we're talking about it. criticism of biden isn't pro-trump, it's meant to constructive. get out, and let someone run who can win.

hilary could finish a sentence, biden can’t. anyone approaching this issue in a normal way is not going to care about your conspiracies, they’ll just vote for trump or not vote.

the process of taking over the democratic party would be different, since it is unlikely that left wing pols would play nice with corporate donors and lobbyists, but i do think that’s feasible. however, i think there’s a better chance at getting a third party elected. i would support that effort, th

again, with that attitude, that’s all third parties will ever be—spoilers. we as voters have the ability to elect third parties, but we never do. a major reason why not: no one votes for them. therefore, if you believe a third party is needed to save the country, the best solution is to vote.

If I say the odds are good, it will attract more voters to my candidate. So the odds are good, and they get even better if you vote for them!

It's more likely to be a fantasy if I don't vote for a third party. If I do vote for a third party, it's less likely.

I mean, that's false, an important of running for office is stating what you would do if you were handed the keys. But I agree, it's also important to campaign and reach out to voters.

I think you should be aiming your comments at Republicans. I think the intense anger at third party voters is because you afraid to argue with the people who are actually plan on doing the ghoulish things you describe

Would you approve of my opinions if I said yes? Personally I don’t fault the lazy voter, life is short and only freaks want to spend it obsessed with politics. Let the normies enjoy themselves until it’s time to vote. As for me, yes I am politically active.

This is a terrible way to think about your responsibility as a voter. Choosing the best to two bad options is partly what got us here in the first place.

Ok, I'm not worth engaging then. It's clear we have different views about the responsibility of voters. Given that the Dem party has been in power for the last few years and done nothing proactive to stop our descent into authoritarianism, I sure they'll reward your vote by doing it again next term.
