Biden can’t say that and also he wouldn’t, because he doesn’t believe in that line of thinking.

Plug-in hybrids that are never plugged-in are worse for the environment than normal hybrids with smaller batteries! Film at 11.

I don’t know why you are so caught up in talking about bias. I mean, you’ve repeatedly derided me as a centrist, even though I (also) voted for Warren in the primary, I support a wealth tax, single-payer healthcare, reparations for black and Native Americans, drug decriminalization, abolition of civil forfeiture, free…

The goal of progressive policy is not to inflict ‘personal pain’. The goal is to achieve justice and equity, usually via systemic change.

It makes you someone who’s allowing Republicans to keep their stronghold on power on the excuse of alliance-building.

Well, you tell me: what does “personally feel pain” mean for the rich? I took it to mean that unless their standard of living is significantly reduced (so, they have to all go get jobs...?), you think we haven’t truly passed progressive policy. (If I’m wrong, feel free to clarify what kind of “pain” the rich must…

For all your hedging, your hatred for the ‘dirtbag left’ matters more to you than the fact that you are shacking up with supposed ‘ghoulish neocons’ and justifying it in all sorts of tortuous ways.

If your point the whole time was “Biden is not a progressive,” you wouldn’t need to pull quotes about him telling rich people “You’ll still be just fine if taxes are raised” to do it. He’s directly said he is not a progressive, and I haven’t seen anyone claiming he is.

There is no need to re-read and think about it: the Lincoln Project, comprised primarily of ghoulish neocons, are infinitely more helpful at defeating fascism in America than DSA, Our Revolution, and the Sunrise Movement combined. Because you can’t make any meaningful change without first winning elections, and the…

Most simply put, he will not go anywhere far enough, and that’s shown clearly by him saying to these rich people that they have nothing to worry about.

He’s saying it directly to rich people!

Preaching incrementalism while the building is burning down around you, and arguing over whether to use the expired fire extinguisher on the corner, or maybe call the fire department, isn’t dignified statecraft at work.

“240 miles of range is not a meaningful advantage over 120" is a pretty spicy take, especially given that:

Just to be clear: when you repeatedly insist that $37,500 is a totally absurd, spit-out-your-drink MSRP for the Bolt - a price that completely invalidates any further discussion or interest - you are aware that it won multiple Car of the Year awards at that price? That (again, at that very same MSRP) it sold…

Why would Tesla need/want to sell a $20k car any more than BMW or Jaguar? They’re doing just fine in the luxury segment.

I don’t see why the MSRP - not the price it’s selling for, but just the MSRP - is that important. Even if you go to the website, the default Build & Price is $29,390 including destination. It also seems kind of silly to criticize GM for real-world pricing that’s lower than the MSRP when the market leader (Tesla) makes…

Even with the dropouts, 2020's Super Tuesday had significantly more active candidates than almost any other cycle. The idea that there were going to be 4+ moderate candidates splitting the centrist vote in April was always a delusional fantasy.

This sounds like asking, “Why do people still live in Florida after Hurricane Andrew in 1992?”

It’s neither FCA nor DC.

Good thing you were smart enough not to get seriously sick, be laid off unexpectedly, or be injured in, say, a car accident due to no fault of your own.  Setting a noble example there.
