I think we all need to realize the news media wants the panic and is capitalizing on the trauma of 2016. And the only thing we really need to do is vote and help others vote.

lol, both of my parents have told my and my siblings that when their Silent Gen parents die, they'll be liquidating their assets and selling our childhood home so they can blow their inheritance and leave nothing for their children or grandchildren. fuckin rules

Wow, your parents are childish psychopaths.

Seriously. That's pure schoolyard "We built a fort, and we play in it, but we don't want you to play with us, and we ESPECIALLY want you to know we reject and ostracize you. Ha ha ha ha." I was seeing that poo poo when I was 11. Except they're adults. Hence, psychopaths.

(I tore down their (snow) fort in response. Probably not the right reaction, but I consider it a knee jerk pain response. Assuming my memory is still accurate, the school I was in made me go to the class with the students and apologize, and I remember the leader of the group actually saying out loud "Sorry isn't enough" and him waiting for me outside my class when it was over. I told a teacher, and said teacher confronted him, and I specifically remember the teacher asking him what he wanted since I'd already apologized and the guy outright said "Blood!"

He never hurt me or came after me despite that, though, so I guess the teacher made it clear that his little self-righteous rage would cost him far more than what I did if he continued)

Also that troll that wandered in here reminded me of that guy who was a mod on various video game wikis and one day he went insane and started rewriting a whole bunch of entries about the Silent Hill video game series claiming the series was actually an analogy for the 'evils' of male circumcision, in how he just could not read the room and kept going and going with his claims until they finally got his mod powers revoked and him banned.

Two states are getting their districts redrawn before November, right? One by a court appointed third party? I hope that translates to two fewer seats for the GOP.

Back in the day, if you wanted to ruin someone’s reputation and standing in the community, you’d accuse them of being gay and/or wearing women’s underwear. Now that stuff is fine, so they had to escalate to one of the last remaining sexual taboos.

It’s why I call everyone who pisses me off a “horse fucker.”

I don't care if there are confounding factors, everything except the racism in this race should have lined up in the R's favor. The right districting, a special election, and an awful voting day for anyone who had any other responsibilities, and it was a bloodbath. The independent votes would nearly all have to go D, and we know that's crazy. Maybe, just maybe, the electorate is getting angry and they're going to be dishing out some pain.

Not making any of this up, I showed up to a Ford dealership a little over a year ago with a $50k Ford EV on order in an electric BMW, they saw us pull up, set me in a soaking wet chair, made us walk all around the dealership looking for a key to a car that they had in stock that was cheaper, than made us walk to the very back of the service lot to look at it, brand new car, parked next to beat up utility fleet trucks presumably in for service, wouldn't let us test drive it and tried to talk us into like a Ford Explorer.

My Trumpy father-in-law who drives like a $65k new truck has now ridden in the car a few times and each time said "You know, I might be wrong about these cars, it really costs you $20 a month to charge?"

Republicans have really hammered the sales side of EVs incredibly successfully but any consumer that has any real exposure to them understands why they are awesome, it's going to catch up to them quick.

I was watching a lot of EV videos over the pandemic - mostly stuff about what they’re like to live with, and what a road trip in one is like - and one of them was a guy talking about his experience buying a Ford Mach-E. He said the salesperson was super unprofessional and straight up said, “we don’t get anything for selling these,” so there’s something hosed up with how Ford (and likely other companies) are incentivizing the dealers to sell them.

Literally told the same thing by the dealership that sold me mine, the only sales person that I could talk into ordering me one, ordering me, not a car on the lot, asked for like $500 over MSRP to "make it worth his time". Every other dealership was wanting like $5k over MSRP so I just said whatever, I made a killing selling my BMW EV during the pandemic.
