Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

Sounds like a semantic debate. Yes, third parties exist but they don't get enough votes to win in a FPTP voting system.

I'll concede if you can show me where a third party has won a POTUS spot in the last 60 years.Sadly the history tells a different story.

Maybe the 25k can just go to me as a victim, then.

How do they donate the vote to "their opponent" when you agree there are more than one?

Divide it up amongst them all? Is it that hard?

Is this entire thread just semantic debates over my opinions or what lmao

The idea of this being a 'punishment' isn't from the direct loss of financial support, but the aid to opponents. It doesn't matter who it goes to as long as it isn't the one using robocalls to canvas voters.

Do you think I'd get 10-15 GOP funding texts and calls a week if each one was a chance for me to use their funds to help their opponents? I don't.
