Given that large chunks of the country vote en-masse for one party or the other, I don't think any of the current generations "think for themselves". Maybe filtering through the noise with specific questions will give a more informed vote.

Instead of anecdotes, do you have numbers to back this up? The article you reference from Pew Research Center is about overall AI use, not ballot research. I'm not surprised some people are using LLMs this way, but the framing seems disingenuous

I call myself a "democratic socialist." The internet calls me a socialist - wanting to destroy capitalism. That's not me. I decide what I am label-wise. I think capitalism needs to be heavily regulated to benefit PEOPLE over PROFITS. That's my definition of democratic socialism. No one defines me.
