It's foreign, it sounds stupid, we have no history of using it in this country and it has to be explained to the average voter. When you're explaining you're losing.

The Allies certainly didn't fight the Nazis under the banner of Antifa and it's disingenuous to pretend WWII vets are Antifa. They aren't. Churchill had no fucking problem funding Franco to keep him out of the war, so fascism was fine with him if it served his interests.

all that and AI slop on top? Fucking gross. I'm a Democrat and a musician and I say FUCK THAT.

No, as my issue is with the potential (likely IMHO) generation of the song Celerity Oct 2025 #10

I agree that someone creating this much AI slop quickly may very well have other monetized YouTube highplainsdem Oct 2025 #16

No. It's AI slop. See my replies above. highplainsdem Oct 2025 #15

Honest question: how can we tell it's AI? mainer Oct 2025 #17

Yes, it matters whether it's AI. You should care where messages came from. And as Celerity pointed highplainsdem Oct 2025 #18

But assuming we DON'T know about its Youtube channel mainer Oct 2025 #19

This. Too-perfect production values, the bland lyrics and no artist named ms liberty Oct 2025 #29

I would not use a name being actively vilified. usonian Oct 2025 #20
