1·21 hours agoI don’t know about your car, but one problem with my car (Kia Sportage) is that using the heater will always require gas.
I get 34 electric miles on a full charge and mostly have short trips with no gas miles. But of course even on trips longer than 34 miles, I only use gas for miles above that amount. Last time I filled my fuel tank was after a long trip late March. I still have over 1/2 of a tank left.
I am envying that.
There is a very serious rot in the USA. It’s the kind of rot that says empathy is a sin and that kindness is weakness.
It’s really just old fashioned decadence and depravity fueled by wealth inequality. Billionaire elites spend billions on GOP propaganda network to con people into unintentially giving them gigantic GOP tax cuts.
The only approval rating that matter are the House and Senate.
This is a good time to point out that the 2 seat GOP majority in the House was stolen. 16 GOP seats are from gerrymandering. An actually representative congress would have a 14 seat Dem majority.

And Texas is going to increase the 16 stolen gerrymandring seats to 21 stolen GOP seats because they don’t think that 16 stolen seats will be enough in the next election.

Why would you have any range anxiety? A plug in hybrid eliminates that.
I got a Kia plug in hybrid for less than 50k. Most of my miles are electric but I also don’t have any range problems.
this is comment that points out that general hate against anyone seeing themselves as republicans is as stupid as republicans hating anyone seeing themselves as democrats.
Nope. Yours was a comment that said Both Sides Are The Same. Which was bullshit. All Republicans always vote for gigantic tax cuts for billionaire elites and all Democrats always vote to increase taxes on billionaires. So on the most critical issue of all, both sides are literally as far apart as is possible.
We have a pedophile in chief.
Yep. It’s very sad.

11·4 days ago200,000 people have died in Gaza most of that occurring in 2023 to 2024. Who was president during that time?
This sets the number at 60,000 in Jan 2025. So if its up to 200,000, we know that 140,000 of those deaths were in the 6 months of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. So Gazan deaths per month under Trump were about 4x higher than when Biden was president.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Gaza_war
It literally says below that under Trump the “WORST case scenario” of the entire war is happening right now. You are actively defending Gaza’s “worst case” genocide scenario and supporting its chief enabler in the USA. You don’t give the slightest fuck about anybody in Gaza because you are in reality a right wing fascism supporter.
Gaza experiencing ‘worst case’ scenario of famine, leading aid group warns
Lowering the ACA premiums and increasing some tax credits that could be easily Dodge by corporations
WTFLOL. How the fuck are corporations going to take away your legal tax credits? Do you even know how tax credits work?
1·4 days agoIt is from the book “The Last 100 Days” by John Toland. He was a reporter during WWII and said his book is based on “several thousand primary sources”.
Russia intelligence services have been producing conspiracy theory propaganda from even before the Communist era. Adolf Hitler was radicalized in 1909 to hate Jews by “The protocols of the Elders of Zion”. That’s right, he killed 6 million Jews because he bought into Russian bullshit.
It’s time to start reminding people of this stuff.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/donald-trump-rape-accuser-lawsuits-230647
[LOS ANGELES — A woman has filed federal lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago, when she was 13…“I loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop, but he did not,” Jane Doe wrote in a formal declaration accompanying her recent suits. “Defendant Trump responded to my pleas by violently striking me in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. … Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump’s sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed.”]
failed on government option of health care
That was Obama who promised this, not Biden
failed on overall student loan forgiveness
Because he isn’t a dictator. The GOP supreme court killed it. Because the GOP had a majority. And they had a majority because Ralph Nadar voters threw Bush the election in 2000.
and a failure to use the broad powers the supreme court just granted that office
Could be.
prosecute trump
Agree 100% on this. FUCK!!!
failed to address rising prices
This is simplistic. The US actually had a lower inflation rate than most 1st world countries did.
failed to leave a marked impact on the everyday lives of Americans
He reduced ACA premiums for everyone using that insurance. He increased tax credits for all Americans with dependents.
It’s almost like his administration was entirely political theater
Lowering ACA premiums and increasing tax credits and increasing taxes on corporations may be “political theater” to you, but it’s real to all the people affected. I would love to see Dems start doing much more of Sander’s programs, but its nonsense that just because Biden didn’t do a huge thing that (1) happen to affect you personally instead of other people, and (2) happen to be something that affected you AND you were paying attention to (e.g. tax credits), that he didn’t do anything.
It’s incredibly clear how little…our vote counts right now.
Then let me make it much more clear what things are at stake. Hint: many many lives are literally at stake. We are literally voting to save lives. Or don’t vote and help Republicans kill more Americans.

So you didn’t notice that as soon as Kamala got the nomination from the DNC that her strategy entirely changed because she picked up Biden’s advisors
Nope. I noticed zero changes from her positions as VP.
Things are five times worse for the Palestinians now?
At least that much for Gazans.
Israel attacks kill more than 80 in Gaza as starvation intensifies
Gaza: 875 people confirmed dead trying to source food in recent weeks
Gazans tell BBC of extreme hunger as UN condemns Israel-backed aid system
Terror and chaos for Gaza’s people now entering the ‘death phase’
Stop pretending this is a win
Stop pretending that Trump actively covering up for Israel that allowed things to become 5x to 10x worse is not a massive loss. YOU HELPED MAKE THINGS MUCH WORSE FOR GAZANS. Why don’t you care that because of the cover Trump is giving Israel, Israel arranged the food distribution system to kill 875 Gazans? Why don’t you care that because of the cover Trump is giving to Israel, Gaza’s people are “now entering death phase”?
imposing political strategies that are known to fail and haven’t worked in nearly 20 years in order not to offend their donors.
They are doing this with their losing identity politics.
he dramatic shifts the Kamala campaign talk in order to appeal to moderates that resulted in her getting less conservative votes than biden did in 2020.
I don’t know of any such “shifts”. Kamala got fewer conservative votes than Biden because of her gender.
Finally let’s not forget the genocide they funded with open arms
This kind of hyperbole nonsense had 2 results. (1) Things are now at least 5x worse for Gazans than when Biden is president. (2) People like you don’t care anymore about Gaza, let alone care that things are far, far worse now than before. Now that Gaza is gotten MUCH closer to “genocide” than it was is exactly the time people quit paying attention. The media manipulation about Gaza you fell for served its purpose – it helped score gigantic tax cuts for billionaires and so it is no longer needed and has been turned off. Now you have to actively pay attention to specific details about Gaza since the media no longer hypes it. And if you do pay attention to the specific details, you realize that things in Gaza have become far more grim under Trump.
promised to run again despite the fact that nobody wanted him
Myself and the millions of other people voting for him wanted him to run again, at least initially. Of course I would have preferred Sanders more.
I mean it’s clear they haven’t learned their lesson my removing David hog a
On the one hand fuck their diversity rules that removed Hog. On the other hand DNC members should NOT be endorsing primary candidates.
I love that I can take unlimited short trips without being concerned about the battery. And if I want I can just chill in my car for 10 minutes with AC and music going, knowing I’m not burning gas, just electricity that I can easily recharge. And I love rarely having to fill up my fuel tank.
