The pin with the incorrectly drawn swastica is the icing on the cake.

Your point is that doing something is more effective than doing nothing? You sure got me there. I have to say that I agree.

My state is nowhere near anywhere close to being a swing-state. My vote for president carries very little weight. For this reason, I vote for whichever party actually aligns with my ideology.

An acquaintance once tried to scapegoat me and my vote for Jill Stein as the reason that Donald Trump won in 2016.

That's not how the electoral college works.

Oh, you're right. In that case, the nurse is stealing from the patient and not an evil, faceless corporation. This changes everything.

I'm on the nurse's side. Fuck the credit card company.

I ride a motorcycle and can confirm that most drivers use this method.

Your options are wretched vs horrific.

I think what annoys me is the oxymoronicality (is that even a word?) of the whole thing. We're excited that EVs pollute less. However, we're choosing a less efficient, more pollution creating, worse version of the new, better thing: The efficient type of power in the body of a gas guzzler.

ICE vehicles are unsustainable. EVs are also unsustainable but they're a little better. We should strive for even more efficiency and even less pollution.

I should probably just take my attitude back to the "fuck cars" community.

SUV's with their extra weight, high suspension, and big, inefficient tires definitely take away from the function of an electric vehicle.

Aren't we all in agreement that the cybertruck is a ridiculous, nonsense, piece of garbage?

Are you going to bring a trailer full of solar panels with you on your EV overlanding adventure? Where do you think you're going to plug this thing in?

They don't need off-road capability. They're just going to drive a needlessly inefficient design to work and the grocery store because they like the way it looks.

Gasoline engines make way more sense for off-road capable vehicles.

The current state of electric vehicle tech is still better suited to vehicles that focus on efficiency.
