    I can. I can also walk to a gas station and get gas to get going again. Do you actually know what happens when you dead your battery car?

    GM is claiiming 400 miles of range, so at least you can expect to get back and forth to work comfortably for most commuters. But yeah. $126K looks like the target out the door bill.

    That does seem to be the model that the CCP is requiring the NDP to adopt in this country. Can't wait. I'll be watching from somewhere else.

    Trump once again dominated Biden.

    Talk about lines to remember...when Trump said, "I ran because of you" - it ended....I mean that will go down in history as one of the most epic debate lines in American history

    Yes, it does. Biden is definitely grouchier.

    Trump is always projecting a voice of hope, optimism, and strength for America.

    Joe has always been a hothead. He kept exploding at potential supporters during the primaries. Multiple incidents. That's why they pulled him off the trail.

    Which is not even remotely similar to the topic at hand- how to consume lots of oil without paying for lots of oil at the same time. What we can't do is pay Americans the same crap wages as Saudi Arabia or Russia pays their workers. So we either pay our workers more or import from them. What we also can't do is quit oil cold turkey without a reliable and abundant alternative.

    What Joe meant when he said that, and what you're effectively saying now is ' stop letting reality get in the way of our dream' which is prolly a great slogan on the walls of an elementary school hallway, but not what anyone should be accepting as a policy plan from the govt.

    Get real. People who can't afford to call for roadside assistance are not buying electric vehicles

    Per the debate last night, Biden was definitely the more angry.. Weird I know, that Trump was the calm, cool and collective while Biden stuttered and got that angry stare down of the camera. Maybe because he knows it will be President Kamala sooner than later if he happens to win the election.

    I got to looking around. Seems like electric vehicles are just for affluent people. An entry level Tesla still costs about 20% more than an entry level Mercedes.... This is what affluent liberals don't understand. When they can afford things, well, everyone can, right? It's like the most incredible repackaging of "let them eat cake" that I can recall.

    ~ More people are beginning to realize that "Green Deal" and Co2 catastrophe is all about politics - not people. It's about power of the party - big socialist government pushing to destroy independence and capitalism. Make people depend on government - whether they like it or not.
    Wuhan virus is being used the same way.
    America may actually be at a tipping point. We shall see ...

    He so missed an opportunity, however, when Biden stated he could not get reform done because of the republican senate. Trump needed to drop the hammer and remind Beijing Biden that the Obama administration has a majority in both the house and senate the first 2 years of their term. Remember, they had to literally twist some democrat arms to get the ACA passed with a majority in both houses. The ole "You need to pass it to know what's in it".

    Yes, Democrats get the high-elite big money donors. Those are the people they help in politics. They need the votes of the very poor and dependent for votes only, so all the empty promises get made year after year. More and better government dependence!

    Trump has turned the Republican party into a big tent party for the vast working- and middle-class wage earners. Job security for the working classes, and more jobs for the poor to help them rise up the ladder a few rungs.

    Yes, to help lower the cost of gas so that even poor people that can't afford road side assistance can drive a car to work

    This is exactly what so many of us here have written over the last decade or so.... Liberalism isn't actually liberalism anymore. It's collectivism and the introduction of the authoritarian socialist state. Just like China. Which I suppose is why China invested so heavily in Joe Biden.
