As Rebecca Traister wrote in the New Republic

Hillary Clinton has loomed so powerfully in the American consciousness for so long that it’s hard to remember how delicate, how combustible, how ultimately improbable the project of electing her president is likely to be.

Despite her liberal voting record, there is still doubt from those outside of her “cult” about her sincerity. Those to her left wonder if she would be as liberal as someone like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, faces of the modern progressive movement in the Democratic Party.

Biden previously ran in 1988 and again in 2008.

In 1988, he was forced to withdraw from the race before the primaries and caucuses even began due to revelations that he had committed plagiarism.

In 2008, he continually polled at the bottom of the list and would withdraw after garnering 1% of the vote in the Iowa caucus.

Imagine all possible life forms as three dimensions of points, assembled into a cube. All life forms possible through DNA occupy a smaller space. All life forms that have existed on Earth occupy an even smaller space. All life forms that have intelligence occupy an even smaller space and humanity occupies a single point of that.

Artificial intelligence, by virtue of being artificial, would be another point far removed from humanity’s singular point if not the entire amalgam of points representing life forms derived from DNA because of its artificiality.

AI would share none of the common evolutionary history or pressures that acted on modern humans and their ancestors to shape cognition into its current form.

An artificial intellect could understand human values but still make decisions with moral dimensions and time considerations we normally assume to be unimportant or undesirable.

As highlighted in the video below, the “deadly stamp collector” is a great thought experiment on this subject–an AI programmed to do a job that ends up ignoring prioritizing its job above the value of human life.

Late 2004, Jon Stewart helped kill CNN’s long-running Crossfire (1982-2005) due to the criticisms he launched after appearing, such as:

It’s hurting America. Here is what I wanted to tell you guys: Stop… You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.

When one of the commentators tried to liken Crossfire to a debate show, Stewart insisted that this was

like saying pro wrestling is a show about athletic competition.

An authoritative claim that is incredibly weak without any follow up. Maybe provide even one example.

Socialist ideas, however, have been prominently figured in American politics.

Take Upton Sinclair’s End Poverty in California. Sinclair was a socialist who earned the Democratic nomination, won almost 900,000 votes, but lost to the Republican nominee (Frank Merriam, 1.1 million votes).

While the Democratic Party initially refused to give him support through endorsements or adequate funding, his ideas proved fundamental to the formulation of the New Deal and the New Deal political coalition.

Call it cowardice, cynicism, or political calculation, either way it indicates that the politician in question (ex. Hillary) is more concerned with their “serious presidential ambitions” than doing what is best for Americans.
