We bought one a fair bit before Musk went full Neo Nazi. It’s a great car, the best car I’ve ever owned. The only repair in nearly 180k km was a known issue covered by warranty. They could be fantastic if the company wasn’t run by a moronic, petulant Neo-Nazi.

Dumb for the dumb throne, cringe for the cringe lord!

JFC. Zero self awareness here. Peak fucking American.

Definitely not normal. I highly recommend a trip to a psychiatrist for evaluation. A good psych can help figure out the root causes of your issues, assist them with meds as needed, and refer you to a few appropriate psychologists to start reprogramming your noggin.

Damn, you sure showed them! Got any other galaxy brain zingers in there, Megamind?

JFC RTFM

Make it impossible how? I’ve been hearing similar claims for about three decades but have yet to see anything definitive happen.

Recent US election results don’t contradict the assertion.

So, vampires. They’re vampires.

Did you know there’s this new thing called a ‘news article’ where you can read about what’s being discussed?

I used to be like you. I’d just imagine what I thought people were talking about, then I’d tell them how they were wrong. Now we can use this new technology to read about what is being discussed first so we can all talk about the SAME THING and tell others how they’re wrong! Wow!

The OP was even kind enough to provide a link so we can all read together! You should give it a try. The future is now!

In this thread: I don’t like this article and it’s stupid. I can’t tell you why, but it is, and anyone that disagrees with me is stupid too.

QED

If communism worked, we’d be doing it.

Oh you sweet summer child.

Respectfully I am not willing to get into this debate.

And this is why you believe that. Head, meet sand.

Props for being polite about it though.

Oof. Way to embody your slur of choice.

Sound cancelling headphones.

That makes sense. I’m not an American but lived in the country for a number of years, so I understand some but not much of the culture.

I now understand and agree completely!

Let me show you an example. Let’s use easy ratios for easy numbers, so let’s say people vote Democrat to Republican 3:2.

If you have 100 people vote, you’ll end up with 60 democratic votes, 40 Republican.

If you have 200 people vote, you’ll have 120 Democrat votes, 80 Republican.

Increasing the number of total voters in this scenario will never change the outcome. 400 people? 240 to 160.

The only way getting more votes by mail will help Democrats win an election is if the ratio of Democrat to Republican voters is higher in mail-in voters compared to other population groups.

Or are you suggesting Democrats are less reliable voters, so getting them to vote increases the relative percentage of Democrat voters?

This explanation doesn’t make sense mathematically, though. If the ratio of Democrat to Republican voters is fairly consistent amongst groups, increasing the number of people in any given group that votes will result in that same ratio, just with greater numbers. Saying otherwise is like saying you can add 2% milk to 2% milk to eventually get back to whole milk

The only way voting by mail helps Democrats is if the vote by mail crowd has a heavier democratic skew.

Vaguely understanding it made me feel not quite so old, and I’m firmly middle-aged.

You sound like my father, until he died from complications of COPD from smoking.
