  1. The problem is it keeps Trump in the race. The other day I was wondering why polling at this point even matters, and figured that it should probably be ignored, unless it can sway the vote. So I googled a bit and from what I can tell, a close race helps turnout while a big lead depresses turnout for the trailing candidate. Media outlets want a close race both for $clicks$ and to try to sway the election. It is rage inducing but shouldn't be a surprise to anyone in here.
  2. Is he focusing on anyone ?? That is the question
  3. Maybe but it also encourages the other half of people to be even bigger dickheads
  4. I still don't get the obsession over polls almost on a daily basis. Do polls right now matter? Has there been any study of how polling affects turnout? Like if polling shows one candidate with a really large lead, does that depress turnout? Does it juice turnout for the candidate behind in the polls? If the polls show a tie does that juice turnout?
  5. If you use a 220 outlet they said like 5 hours, with 110 more like 10 hours. So easily doable overnight. But it also recharges some while driving -- braking, coasting etc. In the past few days driving it we have not come close to running the battery dead -- and if you ever did that the car switches to gas automatically. Car says we are averaging 148 mpg
  6. Right now have a Volvo hybrid demo. You can choose between all gas, all electric, or hybrid. In all electric mode you can only go about 35 miles. But you can plug it into a normal electrical outlet. So if you just drive around town you never have to buy gas. But for a road trip or if you want to go somewhere fast you have gas. Feels like the best of both worlds, we are fans. Would never consider a tesla
  7. Pete was on an NPR segment and for part of it he was asked why he goes on Fox news. He made several good points, but the one that stuck with me was: the people being reached by Fox News aren't just the hard core Magats. Fox News is on in a lot of waiting rooms and such. And in a typical household there will be spouse, kids, friends (who may not be maga) also watching TV at times. Its a way to reach people it may be hard to reach otherwise
  8. coachwhip no? I'm assuming the dark markings are injuries from the lawnmower
  9. OK go up there and tell them to settle down!
  10. They only need to protect capitol hill. Think for a minute
  11. Have fun but you realize that Biden/Harris being in charge instead of Trump means there won't be any bullshit at the capitol this time? GOP may try to fuck around at the state level but not in D.C. (I'm skeptical even at the state level given that all the fake electors last time got felonies)
  12. Any idea why attendance looks so low in the stadium? Fans not leaving Paris to travel to Marseilles and other match sites?
  13. Its not about flipping Magats, its really about juicing D turnout and depressing R turnout. (Directed toward everyone arguing whether any of this stuff will flip Rs)
  14. Is he a GOP mole?
  15. I still like "creepy" better than "weird" but its all about not cowering to the bully, but making fun of him (them) instead
  16. team dinosaur
  17. I think you have it sort of backwards. The cheap Mavics and "basic radioshack shit" are blowing up infantry and non armored vehicles, not armor (for the most part). The proliferation of these cheap weapons is why Ukraine keeps asking for more armor.
  18. I thought I heard lots of reports of Ukrainian soldiers praising the armor on the Bradleys, saving many lives from artillery and drone strikes
  19. Women like the idea of voting for a woman, but when an actual candidate is out there they start to nitpick her and end up voting for a man. I thought E. Warren was a great candidate last time, and was floored by how many women I talked to were dogging her -- more or less for stylistic rather than policy reasons. Wake up sheeple
  20. I searched here but couldn't find anything on Kristin Hook. Does she have any chance against Roy in TX-21?
  21. tie some christmas trees to those cinder blocks and you'll be cooking with gas!
