  • Right. You cannot be banned from "lemmy". It's a feature, not a bug.

  • 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.

  • I 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.

  • 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.

  • Trump says Epstein ‘stole’ victim Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago

    Jump

  • 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.

  • 200,000 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.

    [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.
