  • It seriously saddens me how much 25 years of GOP propaganda against the Clintons has turned reasonable people among Democrats and those further to the left into parrots that try to pin everything on Hillary or Bill.

    There are legitimate criticisms of The Clintons. But they are way less involved than people give them credit for.

    To your comment, I have seen no mention of Hillary - then Secretary of State dealing with multiple conflicts - having any involvement in ACA. She had plenty other work. And there were other key advisors Obama picked that were the actually directly tasked with putting together ACA and making it pass.

    You’re just reiterating my points. Yes they are better. And for people without a choice living in car dependent he’ll holes - an improvement.

    But the fact that you live in a car dependent he’ll hole is another failure of our society - and prevents you from using much better options.

    We should be addressing the root cause. Not the symptom.

    In functional societies, EVs are a small improvement. The noise and carcinogen pollution, land use impact and simple danger to soft street users are key damages ALL cars make to spaces occupied by people.

    Finally - I am tired of “we need cars for those with impairments / to reliever things / other bullshit.” We do not. It’s just the completely broken car-dependent American perspective.
