Both sides can make the best pick and one of them is still going to lose.
Which means they weren't the best pick. Be honest though, do you think Democrats are making the "best" picks, based on the last three election cycles? Even their winner, who was voted in on past perceptions, became an unholy albatross to the party that they won't recover from for some time.

Even when they win, they lose.
 
Shit, I don't know. This is your field. I'm just curious how it would assess an individual based on all of their opinions, and not just political ones. Maybe ask it to rate a poster's general attitude, and not just a political one? I'm guessing you're just copying and pasting our recent posts in our search histories and the AI is focused on politics, so it might be a bit tough to throw in the Mayberry and the like with the WR regulars, without doing a deep dive.

Where are you doing this?
It would probably be easier to get synopses for posts from each forum.
 
I gave it your Mayberry posts - 100 of them - as well as the context of the thread they were made in. I've asked it to profile you to guess your age, location, interests, etc.

Here's the analysis. Would you mind telling me how close it is?

🧠 Psychological & Personality Profile

Personality Traits

  • Cynical Realist: Strong skeptical streak, often critical of Hollywood, politics, and societal trends. Frequently calls out hypocrisy or artifice in media and public discourse.
  • High Openness to Experience: Enjoys media with complex moral questions (e.g., The Last of Us, Requiem for a Dream), engages with philosophical hypotheticals (e.g., free will, ethics), and appreciates directors like Lynch and Del Toro despite their abstract tendencies.
  • Emotionally Blunt / Low Agreeableness: Sarcasm, dark humor, and unfiltered opinions are frequent (e.g., calling someone “pug fugly,” crude sexual jokes, harsh criticism of vloggers or criminals).
  • Moderate Conscientiousness: Has an internal set of rules (e.g., how to resign from a job, lend money, judge acting performances), but also admits to being inconsistent depending on treatment.
  • Introverted-Social Hybrid: Doesn’t seem actively social, but participates regularly in forum banter and has a sharp, punchy style that suggests comfort in asynchronous discourse.

I think this is a pretty good representation of how discussing politics or religion can bring out the worst in us. I recently had @Seano and another poster claim I wasn't as big an asshole in the boxing and mayberry forums and they were probably right.

I do think Biden was the best choice to beat Trump in the '20 election, which is why he was attacked with the Ashley diary/Hunter laptop and foreign agent allegations of corruption scandals, but he should have made it clear from the start that he wouldn't run for reelection.

I thought Harris was a horrible pick, mostly because of her race/gender and the perception of her being a progressive squad member, and I think it was @Rob Battisti I told to keep dreaming when he posted she'd be the nominee.

She’s too Pro Israel to be perceived a member of the squad…
 
I was not having a discussion about the 2 sides. I never discussed the Democrats at all. I never even mentioned them.

I said that GOP is no longer fiscally conservative and that the fringe elements took over the party. None of that is about the Democrats.
Welcome to Cajuns " centrist" world...

Being accused of being an asshole by him is like a pile of shit telling you your arse stinks.

The snowflake put me on ignore for rebutting a series of his posts. It's a discussion forum but the guy must think he's something special and is just posting for posterity. Instead of debating he seems to consider dissent as a personal attack with no substance.

Lots of peeps in that category. Dont know why anyone uses the ignore or report button tho.

I feel like online can be similar to real life as long as they arent trolling. When you discuss politics or religion peeps either handle it well or not. Some friends I know I can't have the discussion while others I can. Some are just too emotional and it goes off the rails. Here because its anonymous its easier to engage but the same result.
