Using it for military and warfare? Totally fine. Using it to help lonely people have an external sounding board? Too dangerous.

TWO STUDIES

This story is a direct parallel because ultimately the conclusion was that it was just errors not intentional fraud. The same as this story about Republicans concluded. Neither case is an example of fraud.
Here is an example of fraud though and there are many similar examples of Republicans committing fraud on an individual level.
I already provided sources in another comment. This was part of the "he's a madman" narrative before the Russia collusion hoax.
This comment section is a hilarious demonstration that there is in fact both sides.
Also I think it's rather funny that Democrats are going with the "threat to Democracy" angle when essentially Americans are being told that everything is fine with our Democracy as long as Trump isn't elected and people vote for the other geriatric instead. As if in an actual functioning healthy Democracy the American people, all 350+ million of us, decided we wanted 80 year old senior citizens exhibiting signs of senility as our President. That we wanted these career Congressional politicians to hold office for several decades until they die in office in the 90s on their death bed while supposedly still signing documents and carrying out the duties of their office.
This is a losing slogan and is just going to make people even angrier that Democrats are trying to pretend that everything will be fine if you just don't vote for Trump.
No, I know everyone experiences racism. You've kind of admitted your own bias in this discussion now. Black people can be racist. You say "we aren't." There was never a generalization to which you could apply "we" but it is clear you likely consider all white people to be racist. Even those white people who are subject to these supposed power structures that make them invulnerable to racism.
A white student in a majority black school with black teachers and administration can experience "structural racism" in the same vein that a black person can in a similar situation. There is no delineation of the sociological definition so even then you have to accept black people can be racist. How about a white person in an African country? This exposes many of the problems with the blanket "black people can't be racist" statement. Black people do hold power in many places around the world including within America and wield that power over some white people. Your statements just further support the damage your beliefs can cause other people when you ignore all of this nuance and bring it back to "we can't be racist."
Black people can be, and some are, racist on an individual level and they can be, and sometimes are, racist in the new sociologically defined sense.
One example might be Ethiopia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Ethiopia
This is a nation that never experienced colonization but widely engage in the slave trade going back to the 1400s. A white person in Ethiopia has none of the "structural power" and so on.
the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another
Ethiopia has a lengthy history of racism towards many different ethnic groups. A white person there experiences systemic racism by black people. Again, black people can be racist.
Biden makes it so you can't get rid of student loans in bankruptcy, later uses forgiving loans as a reason to vote for him for President. It works. Doesn't offer to actually restructure the loan system, doesn't offer to fix higher education, doesn't really address anything other than a small subset of the issue he himself contributed to earlier in his career. No one is smart enough to care they just want freedom from Biden's crushing student loans and they'll vote for Biden to get it who cares if their non-existent children because they're too poor to have a family would end up in the same situation. They don't exist.
