Why isn’t th federal government making a bigger deal out of the fact that an official political candidate was used in a deep fake ad saying non consensual words for political interference
Why haven’t these people been charged? Or at least found?? This was a litmus test for more deepfakes of joe during the main election…and they got the approval
Does this mean that liberals can do the same thing with DJT?
Tbh, I’m not sure what liberals could deepfake Trump that would be worse than what he actually says haha
You’re not thinking deeper enough. Imagine a deep-faked Trump saying “Actually, I like Mexicans. It was all a joke. Borders open for everyone! And to all of you who gave me money, thank you haha suckers!! I endorse Joe Biden.”
His voters literally don’t care what he says.
Trump is the President that signed an executive order restricting firearms, but it’s apparently Obama and Biden that are coming after our guns.
neither does biden’s voters
if both of these candidates defecated on the constitution then wiped with it afterwards the people from both camps would still be clambering to lick those sphincters clean afterwards
I have no love for Biden. I think very few people are excited to vote for him.
But he’s not literally a fascist wannabe dictator who sells classified data to our enemies, tried to overthrow the US government, and rapes women.
So yeah, I’m voting for Biden.
I don’t like Biden. I wanted Bernie to be our president. But it’s either him or Trump. And fuck Trump.
You’re not thinking serious enough. Imagine the shit Trump has said on the campaign trail, but now he can tell his cultists directly on their phones. Lighting the kindling and seeing if it blows up or not.
You have to think so crazy you end up thinking normal
You’re correct, which is why the next best thing is just deepfaking him into a completely different personality.
AKA: Sassy Justice
I’m not worried about liberals deepfaking Trump, I more worried about grifters deepfaking Trump to further take advantage of low intelligence/low cognitive function trump supporters. I already see it with freeze dried ration scams and such. I don’t want grifters to get ahold of my inheritance.
Dean Phillips got right around 20% even with the fact that Biden did a write in. I’m honestly kinda surprised it’s that low. I would have expected there to be more than that considering the write-in.
Not that it matters since the DNC took away New Hampshire’s say in the matter by nullifying their delegates. It is kinda horrifying that a private organization (the DNC) can just decide who has a say in choosing which candidates of the 2 we get to choose between.
The reality is that in any other country a private organization (=a party committee) decides who is the candidate for their party, and therefore who the public can vote for
the USA isn’t really supposed to have political parties like you do now.
Washington and other “founding fathers” argued against a party system, and there are no references to parties in the Constitution or other original documents mandating how elections are conducted.
It’s always been the way. Even if the plebs vote for someone not approved by the party (ie Bernie), they have super delegates that get to outvote the others to promote their choice.

You know that’s only technically correct and not viable in practice
The sad thing is you’re technically correct only because it’s people with a similar mindset to you on the matter that perpetuate this idea.
Sure you can, but what you can do is irrelevant. Even if you do it is guaranteed not to have a say nationally because of our first past the post voting system locks out any competition. You have 2 meaningful choices, anything else is locked out by our voting system and rendered non meaningful.

I confess, I’m ootl here. Why was he not on the ballot?!
The DNC is not holding a primary so NH is just doing this on their own for fun, and to comply with it’s own laws. Because there is no contest, there is no need to collect the signatures and hire the lawyers and volunteers to get into the ballot. Other candidates did, but the national democratic nominating convention will be uncontested and Joe Biden will be the nominee.

That’s really impressive and pretty encouraging.
I read too much b******* online, so knowing that he doesn’t even have to be on the ballot and can still win a primary is a wowser for me.
That’s how you do it Jack.
Removed by mod
Yeah because in other countries it’s not fakes, it’s the actual dictators.
Who would win in a fight: Diamond Joe Biden or Dark Brandon?
For zero delegates…
Unless the DNC is going to retroactively change their mind and not strip NH of their delegates now that Biden won.
Which would be really shitty considering lots of people didn’t vote because without delegates it was literally pointless.
Just because Republicans went full on fascist doesn’t mean Dems need to start pulling this stupid shit.
Let’s make up a scenario in our head that never existed and get pissed off about it.

The party could ultimately decide to seat New Hampshire’s delegates at the convention this summer, but as of now, none will be awarded in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.

Welp, looks like you’re wrong…
Edit:
I’ll add the full context even
Last year, the Democratic Party moved to shake up its primary calendar and allow South Carolina to hold the first primary. New Hampshire Democrats said moving the date of their primary would require a new state law and couldn’t be done in time.
The Democratic National Committee said the state violated the party’s rules by holding its contest earlier than allowed, and thus none of the state’s delegates would be up for grabs in the election. Mr. Biden also protested the primary date and withheld his name from the ballot, so anyone who wants to vote for the commander in chief will have to do so with a write-in vote.
Democratic candidates like Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson will be on the ballot Tuesday, but Mr. Biden is still expected to win. The party could ultimately decide to seat New Hampshire’s delegates at the convention this summer, but as of now, none will be awarded in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
In 2020, New Hampshire Democrats allotted 24 pledged delegates.
24 delegates, thrown out because the state party (who is in charge of primaries) didn’t do what the national party asked, because that would require changing state law and there just wasn’t time for that.
So the DNC and Biden threw a tantrum and tossed democracy out the window.
The party could ultimately decide to seat New Hampshire’s delegates at the convention this summer, but as of now, none will be awarded in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
Yeah, sounds like you’re getting mad at hypotheticals. Maybe hold off on the pitchforks.
The pulled the delegates…
Biden won…
If they reinstate the delegates, that’s not better, that’s worse. Because the last two primaries the party favorite comes in last and the most progressive has won NH… Canceling it to only put it back in when the moderate party favorite wins is fucked
Which I didn’t think needed explained, but this thread has shown me my expectations were a lot higher than they should be
