Not much to add here, given the opening dependent clause.
To be fair, some voting adults were also misled by Weekly World News’ “photos” of 800-pound babies and aliens back in the 90s. It’s a pretty low bar.
I was going to say, I think voters have long been able to mislead themselves, lol. Eating the onion is/was a real thing.
To be fair, the same voters were also mislead by dumb memes.
But the opposing candidate was depicted as a crying soyjak and my candidate was the nordic gamer chad! How could I not vote for him?!
I mean a free hotdog would change the mind of a shit load of people… So its not exactly hard…
99% of voters are pretty dumb.
They’ve voted for the same broken promises going on 40 years now, and we’re looking at an election featuring two failed presidents, one of whom has been impeached multiple times AND tried to steal an election. Neither of these candidates seems capable of forming coherent sentences either.
The only people winning here are people invested in the stock market.
Using 40 years as the yardstick, we’re pretty much at the logical end of Reagan’s policies of union-busting, deregulation and upward redistribution of wealth through “tax cuts for the middle class.” Main difference is people now view an 8% mortgage as usury.
No mention of gab, the “uncensored and unbiased AI”?
Politicians are capable of misleading voters plenty on their own
Hope they mislead the people in the correct direction this time…
I feel like the title is insulting the AI tools.
I know what they mean but there arent as many fence sitters in this American election anyway.
I can see this being a bigger problem in other democracies, however, where people are still swayed by facts
