The unfortunate reality is that it is easier to get people to change their clocks than it is to get them to change the opening hours of any institution (business or otherwise).

the Democrats seem to have an infactuation with using AI to bring back to life gun violence victims.
What does this have to do with the Democratic party? The article says,
Oliver's audio is one of six messages generated by artificial intelligence meant to resemble different voices of individuals killed by guns in incidents over the past decade. It's part of an initiative led by March For Our Lives, the gun control organization borne out of the Parkland shooting, and Change The Ref, a group started by Oliver's parents, vocal advocates Manny and Patricia Oliver.
The messages will appear on the Shotline, a new online platform that the groups created, where users can individually send the AI-generated audio directly to the offices of members of Congress, demanding further action on gun violence prevention.

There are only two or three key core policies that are so important to me personally that I voted for what we're going through now, and I'm thoroughly unhappy about it. The DNC knows exactly what these things are, and they've thrown themselves on their swords over it.
I don't know what they are. Can you name the two or three policies, please?

So you're saying the Democratic party should ignore their progressive wing and stick with the (by your own admission) totally unsuccessful moderate establishment? Personally, I don't think that's a winning strategy.

Donald Trump literally does not understand the concept of Rule of Law. He's been breaking the law his entire life, and he believes any problem can be solved by greasing the right palms or with the right threats.

Can you please give your definitions of "Democratic", "Capialism", "Totalitarian", and "Socialism"? Because if I use the definitions I find in a dictionary or encyclopedia, this post is nonsense.

Well, then maybe the Democrats should distance themselves from Socialists instead of electing them?
They've been doing that for over three decades, and it's done nothing to prevent Republicans from calling them Socialists.

Here's something to think about... when Trump isn't in office anymore, who're you going to hate on and blame for everything all the time?
Trump has broken so many things, and dismantled so many institutions that he will be the correct person to blame for things for decades to come.

And as a side note, once you realize wealth inequality is inevitable, the main selling point of Communism disappears.
What a strange claim. Just because something is inevitable, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to minimize it. It's certainly not an argument in favour of a system that embraces it wholeheartedly.

There's a whole wikipedia article about denial of the Gazan genocide. Your post here has a bit of #2 (deflecting all blame to Hamas) mixed with #9 (asserting all civilian destruction is collateral damage), plus a ton of #6 (demonizing Israel's enemies while emphasizing Israel's alleged superior moral character).
Meanwhile, Israeli officials have been saying for years that they want to remove all Palestinians from Gaza. And guess what? Ethnic cleansing is genocide.
