Like I said, epitome of, "fuck you, I got mine." You don't care about the rights of other's because yours aren't under threat.
Except something I want is under threat.
You're just pissed I don't prioritize issues that don't effect me when issues that very much do come up.
And I've seen enough of the world to know how that goes. If you don't stand up for what matters to you, nobody will and everything you have will be slowly eroded away.
Reading comprehension, you lack it.
Your life, liberty and health aren't under attack, so you don't give a shit about the life, liberty, or health of others. That's what, "fuck you, I got mine," means.
Edit: Also, the irony of you talking about, "everything you have will be slowly eroded away," while proudly saying you don't care about the erosion of the rights of others is not lost on me.
Yeah, that's just you being pissed I don't vote for other people before myself.
Fuck you got mine would be if, on knowing issues I don't care about are resolved, I started voting against people's rights.
This is "fuck you, don't got mine". Once I got mine the fuck you will go away.
But you've said it yourself, you would vote against other people's rights if it meant fewer things, "getting in the way of open source algorithms."
Well, I wouldn't vote for AI if the advancement of AI required we don't mandate police cameras.
But it doesn't. The Democrats can easily both support rights and AI. It's their choice not to and if they make that choice they lose my vote.
Need I remind you of your initial comment?
No exceptions also includes even if the person running against Biden wants to take away your right to vote or bodily autonomy.
Edit: I think you're starting to realize that you've blustered yourself into a corner.
That doesn't contradict what I said at all.
You've said, repeatedly, that you would vote for AI over rights. It's your single issue, and have even pointed out that Democrats can support both, but if they don't support AI you'll vote against them regardless of what their opponents support.
Yes, because that's my primary issue.
If it was some other issue I'd flip flop my vote based on that. If I didn't have any issues like that I'd vote on the "generic best party" and generally that's the Democrats.
If I were voting against people's rights I'd just always vote straight ticket Republican.
You've made it clear that you would vote Republican if the Democrats don't support AI.
And since you have said it yourself that it would be voting against people's rights to do so, you've made it clear that you are okay voting against people's rights if it means voting for AI, which is exactly how the rights of everyone get eroded.
