What's the centrist position on climate change? The 2020 election? Vaccines? The right is objectively wrong on this subjects, while the left is objectively right. Any LLM worth their salt would not bothside these topics and just give t

Yes it fucking is, when everyone on the right is insisting this is normal and fine.

I mean, it only feels weird if you missed Kalshi becoming a CNN partner 6 months ago. Media is entirely captured by capital, so I wasn't even surprised when they did that. https://news.kalshi.com/p/kalshi-cnn-predi

> The problem with this is that many people come here to only have children (anchor children) and abuse the system. Racist lie, provide proof that this is an actual significant issue.

Yes, educated people tend to lean left, since the right is so anti-intellectual. But virtually all media in this country (both social and legacy) belongs to the far right pedophile oligarchs currently running this country to the ground to f

I don't want my models to be "centrists" and bothside everything for the sake of it. I want them to provide the facts and tell me which side is right on the issue.
