He repeatedly advocates and speaks up for marginalized groups, particularly migrants and LGBTQ people every chance he gets, specially because Trump regime is actively hostile towards them.

Yes, touching grass and talking to someone with life experience and their own opinions is better than talking to an LLM that agrees and validates everything you say, doesn’t hold you accountable, and siphons your data, all while you get more and more mentally ill (because people treat talking to an LLM like they’re talking to a Cortana like AGI, but the limitations of machine learning make it literally fucking impossible).
