many examples of moderates or even moderate democrats being totally terrorized by people on the far left
I've heard direct stories of people getting death threats and having to get security based on *not being left enough* in their public statements or posts
this is not how America is supposed to work

I asked Grok to explain why the SAVE act is blocked by a zombie filibuster
Buckle up:
This would be hilarious if it weren't so stupid
> SAVE act itself has 53/47 majority support
> can't be passed because the 47 can **just silently object** indefinitely, so the bill would need 60 votes to pass
> this is the "zombie filibuster" - literally no effort needed
> ..wait so can't they just end the zombie filibuster so that bills can pass with a simple majority?
> yes, yes they could
> that would only take 51 votes to change procedure
> ..so they could do it right now?
> yes
> ..so why don't they?
> they don't want to because then it might be used against them next time the senate flips
What in the actual f* ?!
So an absolutely essential voter security bill with 85% public support, is blocked by a few Republicans who don't want to change procedure because they're anticipating losing in a few months, and a few Democrats who will vote as a block against any Republican measure no matter how bipartisan it is.
I love America, and am disgusted with our politicians.
Democrats don't want to allow electoral security to pass, and Republicans just like losing.
I like looking at the controversial articles, because this is a good indication of how xAI has been able to handle difficult data problems and still produce something helpful and fair
