Paul Krugman managed to predict this, albeit a day before it happened:
“Democrats have indeed moved a bit to the left on economic issues in recent years. But they’re hardly extremists. They’re basically a lot like a European Social Democratic party.”

Or, the Bender GIF.

Yeah, I don’t know if he means Democrats as in voters or a limited number of mostly new Democratic voices (e.g. AOC, Mamdani, Bernie), but even there, everyone is just moving back to where the Democrats were in the '60s and '70s to a large degree…
… is still not anywhere near any European social democratic party’s platform.
So… the 3 laws of robotics will not help us.

1 Line go up
2 All your work belong to us
3 Worship The Founder!
Line go up always makes me giggle/cry…
Just know that any time I write The Founder(s) I hear Weyoun’s voice in my head and he is clasping his hands together at his breast and all dewy eyed.
Yeah, the Democratic party is very much a European center-right party at best, thanks to our baseline of no socialized medicine, etc.
Maybe they should try “I” before moving on to “AI.”
Yeah, me too… I just watched the episode last week where one of the Weyoun clones goes rogue and tries to defect to the Federation and he was all worshippy over Odo…
