  1. Apparently you still buy ff industry propaganda even as they burn the world around you turning it into the iconic image of hell.

  2. We know what happened when we taxed the wealthy over 90% it gave us the golden age of economic growth post WWII

  3.  @thesoundsmith  you seem to have missed the point of my comment. There is no reason to have a debt ceiling crisis. The only reason it happens is because they pass a budget without also passing the appropriate amount of debt to fund the spending they voted for. Both parties do it to make the crisis it is completely avoidable and saying otherwise let's them off the hook for creating the crisis in the first place.

  4. America doesn't but the democratic party does as they limited the spectrum to the gap between Trump and Dick Cheney. All to make sure we don't get a Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein.

  5. Renewable energy can meet 100% of our energy needs at a fraction of the cost of nuclear without creating another nuclear exclusion zone. The world has too many of those already

  6.  @brothermine2292  the last election in Australia proves you wrong. Their version of ranked choice voting has made a big difference. See juice media on the topic

  7.  @brothermine2292  wow you continue to argue we can't have the good things that don't require a constitutional ammendment which some states have already passed. Amazing

  8.  @WJV9  those laws are garbage. It doesn't change anything if the states that already trend with the popular vote agree to play with their electoral college votes the deep GOP states won't ever agree to pass the same laws.

  9. We need to follow Australia and implement Ranked Choice Voting. The result of their last election cycle shows that the establishment parties could be out of power in Australia in the next election.

  10. Where was that Obama when the Democrats had a supermajority and couldn't get Medicare for All??? It is easy to be all fire when you lack power.

  11. That would definitely slow down the court.

  12.  @randibgood  how many years will it take him to bring charges? It will take as long for him to hear a single case.

  13. Well having lived in NH my entire life and have walked through many miles of woods I have no idea where Tom thinks the planted forests with straight rows of trees are. I have seen many stone walls also not straight where old fields grew up to woods but it was totally random the result of neglect after the farms where gone not some massive tree planting movement.

  14. Actually a national single payer system is the only answer it end the profit motive in healthcare.

  15. Authoritarian cults will follow their leader all the way to committing suicide. The GOP is no different than any other authoritarian cult

  16. Unconditional support for Israel is why i stayed home. Couldn't vote for crimes against humanity

  17. His last statement appliee to both parties in our lesser of 2 evils political system. It is why the Democratic party funded the extremists in the GOP. We need rank choice voting and more parties to end the duopoly of evil.

  18. Why would you stop driving? Tesla has you covered from the roof to the payment with no ff needed.

  19.  @Monkeybongoes  you know rare earth doesn't mean that the supply is actually limited right???

  20.  @Monkeybongoes  Despite their name, rare-earth elements are relatively plentiful in Earth's crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element at 68 parts per million, more abundant than copper. All isotopes of promethium are radioactive, and it does not occur naturally in the earth's crust; however, a trace amount is generated by decay of uranium 238. They are often found in minerals with thorium, and less commonly uranium. Because of their geochemical properties, rare-earth elements are typically dispersed and not often found concentrated in rare-earth minerals. Consequently, economically exploitable ore deposits are sparse (i.e. "rare").[5] The first rare-earth mineral discovered (1787) was gadolinite, a black mineral composed of cerium, yttrium, iron, silicon, and other elements. This mineral was extracted from a mine in the village of Ytterby in Sweden; four of the rare-earth elements bear names derived from this single location. See wikipedia for more information

  21.  @Monkeybongoes  I am sure the entire automotive industry never heard of supply chains so you are probably right and they will all find out they invested billions into manufacturing capacity that they can't get raw materials for. Seem reasonable for a industry over a century old.....

  22.  @LindaMcification  you don't run for vice president you are hand selected. The current VP couldn't even win the nomination in her home state she literally dropped out of the race to avoid being embarrassed by her defeat.

  23.  @talbotcolleen  she is more qualified than many of the presidents in recent history. Maybe more qualified than any since Carter.

  24.  @talbotcolleen  far more people know who she is than knew who Obama was when he ran

  25.  @talbotcolleen  actually I think being a woman in 2024 would be a benefit for the voters. Nicki Haley also thinks so apparently

  26.  @deelee4639  takes time for people to learn how the new system works. Look at the Australian results from the last election

  27. The GOP won't end unless we get rank choice voting to get more parties to replace them. The two party system is propping up the fascist.

  28. The political system is designed to self select for politicians who will do the bidding of the wealthy elite. It is literally mandatory to raise the money needed to buy your election campaign.

  29. Cleantechnica covers the cost comparison and all things EV and batteries regularly.

  30. Well one thing is for sure these are trump voters who won't vote in 2024 thanks to trumps covid policy.

  31. They even call trump appointed supreme court judges communities now.

  32. He is a true capitalist for sale to the highest bidder. Oh sorry didn't catch that you where not talking about the judge

  33. That would require a president who isn't looking to make deals with the GOP. Biden is a member of the old Boys club. Vote Marianne Williamson if you want real change

  34. I guess your sibling doesn't believe charity begins at home.

  35.  @milesteg8627  yes I didn't realize you where saying that you don't believe people can end up homeless and unable to get back out of a very bad situation. I take that as a sign you have never actually know homeless people.

  36.  @ZPositive  you don't need a home to have a cellphone. Many homeless people work at places like Amazon and have cell phones. The stereotype of someone with a shopping cart is about 2 decades out of date.

  37. The oligarchs are worried that Americans are waking up to the class warfare.

  38. Unfortunately the GOP has shown us regardless of who eventually becomes the speaker this house of representatives will not be a functional government. They lack the ability to function as rational adults and reach a simple majority

  39. The wealthy are the ones who lose on numbers. History shows us that time and time again. It is why they try so hard to distract the working class from the damage a few wealthy individuals do to all of society.

  40.  @Em4gdn1m  only a fool thinks they can have a war against the largest military force ever to exist on our planet. Civil war is just a call to commit suicide by military industrial complex. Or suicide by cops. Oh you mean a fracture of the GOP into two groups that can't agree. That won't happen in the end because they are authoritarian by nature their voters will ultimately agree to fall in line behind the next demigod Ron Desantis is being pushed forward for that purpose. One thing about the right wing arthurian mindset it is easy to control by the establishment.

  41.  @emsleywyatt3400  someone can't stand criticism or is dodging the reality that Hillary and trump couldn have resulted in low voter turnout compared to historical records because they where both bad candidates.

  43. They are the Biden Harris administrations. As much as Israel. We just added 9 billion dollars to fund them.

  47. Yes fracking wells deplete 40% in the first year and 80% in the first 18 months. Do you have an alternative that can replace 80% of our fracked gas in the next 18 months??? I wanted to ban all drilling until I realized the trap the fracking industry got our society into. We need to focus on ending demand and let the supply side die out. It will do that rapidly on it's own as the wells are dry holes in 18 months anyway.
