      Is this the actual ACTUAL picture or some sort of AI recreation based on the drawing?

          For all I knew this could have been a very recent post or even if this was 10 years ago someone could’ve created that image on the left very recently

    Honestly, I think it shows how throughly democracy fails to deliver what reality is and how feelings dictate the choices people make.

      I think it’s completely valid to vote according to your feelings. That’s how you determine what you find important in those you vote for. Drawings are a form of art and the purpose of art is to invoke specific feelings in the consumer - apparently more people enjoyed the first drawing and voted for it, which is completely valid for a competition for “drawings”; it wasn’t a competition for drawing skills, just the pictures themselves.

      What I find much more problematic for democracy is misinformation, especially if deliberate by news outlets, politicians or lobbyists. They know how to manipulate feelings to get what they want.
