This is hilarious to me. Democrat messaging re: technology seems to be all about building new power plants (obviously for data centers). Republican messaging re: technology seems to be all about building data centers. They both have the same plan.

yeah, and if one of them were literally nazis, it'd be such a hard choice.

Well, that is certainly a headline you can write.
The reality is closer to neither party delivering on promises, the growth of independents, and people picking something different each cycle, in the hope that maybe this new person will finally keep their word.

I think being anti-data centers is like being anti-nuclear, anti-energy, and pro-deindustrialize stances that gripped Europe over the last 20-30 years.
It's hard to think of anything better than data centers financed by big tech profits, profits that previously just went to buying back shares.
Even if it all crashes, we all get cheap tokens and GPUs and memory, which will jump start more innovation.
PS. This is my non-political opinion.

Wedge issues gonna wedge. As long as there's a way to separate voters on a topic, political parties are going to take advantage of it.
