At the end of the day, calling Harris out on her previous role in convicting folks for marijuana crimes isn’t entirely unfair. But it’s also pretty misleading to pretend that she pulled a switcheroo on the issue just in time for the midterms.

every 2 years no matter the party lol. Zero chance they even drop it to schedule 3 like theyd been claiming.

Biden could literally do that today.

Thats how they were promoting it too. Like any day the dea was gonna change it. Just like any day our student loans will be forgiven lol.

I wonder how worried her team is about her numbers with black men. It really is amazing to me how polling and focus groups made the dems a total mockery especially weathervanes like Kamala. They'll promote anything if they think the data says it might be a winner.

Yeah seem to be, she announced a thing to protect black men’s crypto investments or something or other as well lol

I wonder if they're using AI yet for campaign data

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

I hadn't even thought of it but it's a new fresh hell out of Hellworld so they must be. And win or lose - the democrats will talk about "The AI told us X, Y, & Z..." If they lose - they'll shoot the messenger. They'll blame AI - this emerging technology - for leading them astray. If they win - they will say how smart, prescient, and wise they were to utilize AI - this futuristic technology.

Depends on what you mean by AI. ML in general, certainly. LLMS, however, might not be used in data analysis because they suck with data processing.

For campaign copy, yes: https://quiller.ai/

I've been sounding the alarm bells around the Democrat's messaging towards black men for months now, and I'm not even American!

Lmfao “America is racist, right? So I gotta be racist to win, right?” - Kamala Harris.

And force you to pay $100k just to apply to be able to sell it.

Oh and you can't grow it in your yard without it being in a locked greenhouse and away from anyone under 21

Those CA weed barons are really wanting to go national.

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

CA weed barons vs national tobacco barons

The way Dems turn their few strengths into weaknesses is hilarious

Oh look, another thing to yell “SIKE!” over come November 7.

The police are still going to be evil racists that should not be allowed to have guns even after cannabis is legalized federally.
