Well it Happened!

And no one seemed to noticed.

We have an AI-President running for President. Yep. You read that correctly, an AI-Presidential candidate.

Back in the “good old days” a candidate for President made a speech in front of LIVE supporters and announced that they were “throwing their hat into the ring” as a LIVE candidate seeking votes to win that office.

Ahhh, “the good old days” weren’t they grand. Same type of assholes were running but you got to see them physically.

Now all you have to do is put out a VIDEO of yourself and all the bold stands you have taken and integrate enough “corn-pone” to out do a Southern picnic.

And Voilà, you are running for President of the United States and you DON’T EVEN HAVE TO BE THERE! OR FOR THAT MATTER SHOW UP!

Can you imagine going into a job interview and not showing up except by having a UPS driver drop off a video of your qualifications with a note, “sorry can’t make it, it’s my nap time”.

And then throw in ChatGPT, the software that can let users pose questions and give directions to a bot that can answer with conversation, term papers, sonnets, recipes — almost anything and in almost any style you specify. Say perhaps a Presidential speech ……… or even a bot’s view of a great foreign policy viewpoint.

But it is a new world and what has been proven over the past several Presidential Cycles the winner doesn’t really have to have any QUALIFICATIONS except promoting the Power Elite, which IS NOT YOU!

And then the controlled media repeats the bull shit phrase, “YOUR VOTE COUNTS” so each of you run along and stand in line in the rain and sleet and hail because that is what democracy is all about.

Oh the count? No we’ll take care of that ……….. TRUST US!

Let Tubularsock, not to incite you to violence, but just share that the only way to rearrange the “body politic” is to toss a grenade into the mix. Ok, Tubularsock wanted to be frugal but say 3008 grenades. Who counts when it comes to REVOLUTION!

Tubularsock guesses that you realize that besides the AI-President there are currently two human candidates challenging BOT-POLITICS and acting like real-life humans.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson. They both have a different take on how the Democratic Party are running things and have announced their participation in attempting to get nominated as the Democratic Party candidate for President.

And THAT is where the Democratic Party’s belief in DEMOCRACY comes to the forefront!

The Party Leadership has declared that the Bot-Directed AI-President WILL NOT DEBATE THE OTHER CONTENDERS because HE IS THE ONLY TRUE CANDIDATE RUNNING. PERIOD!

Oh, Tubularsock remembers that old Jedi mind trick, “these are not the Droids you are looking for” as stated by Obi-Wan/Ben Kenobi after being stopped by Stormtroopers when traveling into the city of Mos Eisley.

But now the Empire’s Leadership is using it!

Guess we’re still living in STAR WARS after all.
