James Carville teed off on young voters who are considering not casting a ballot for Joe Biden on Sunday, telling them to "get off your motherf*cking ass."
Yes – which is why people in-the-know who are training neural nets periodically get frustrated and say “You know what, this thing’s not producing the results I want, it did something really wrong as a matter of fact. Fuck it, I’m going to stop applying a gradient in the direction of better results, until it gets its act together.”
Oh and also the neural net is physically in charge of all of our lives in this example
Except in this case we have 40+ years showing us that not only is the neural net design not working, it is making things worse and worse because the premise on which it operates is fundementally flawed and will never result in what it needs to.
There is no “gradient in the direction of better results” with the democratic establishment, how the hell do people not see that by now?
What about the context we’re in right now says that the lesser of two evils has been working? That it will ever produce anything that pushes the country back towards the center?
I can give you a bunch of examples of Biden pushing domestic economics and climate change policy real real firmly back towards the center. But, on the broader point about the Democrats in general I actually agree with you. If anything I said sounded like “Let’s stop working to make the Democrats better or else find a replacement,” it wasn’t intentional on my part. Both of those sound like great things to do. (And fixing FPTP to avoid this situation in general in the future)
In the meantime, I do think that voting for the non-apocalypse, and choosing the outcome of “needs some improvement and really should be replaced” over “will definitely try to end the world,” are good things to do.
It’s like if the neural net runs the life support on the spaceship, and it’s clearly not doing a good job and we desperately need to find a better solution, and so one guy says hey it’s been so long of this that let’s just turn off the life support, what’s the worst that could happen.
