I'm interested to revisit these predictions a month from now. My priors of "Bret is wrong about everything always" have been pretty reliable so far

I just like the cars. And I'm not really sure where your bias is coming from. Did you get rear ended by a Leaf or something?

I genuinely do! More people should drive EVs, they’re more convenient and more performant than gas cars.

Nope, that’s not how EV batteries work. I have a 3 year old EV. The range is basically the same as when I got it (300 miles).

For sure, I’m just saying that the big benefit to a $22k EV is that in 5 years you’ll be able to it buy it used for less than a used Corolla. That’s a big deal for EV adoption.

$22k is the same price as a Toyota Corolla. If you can’t afford that, you probably shouldn’t be buying a new car. The used car market exists for a reason.

Honestly, the 2018 Apple buyout is probably the only reason it *hasn’t* been enshittified. They don’t have to worry about appeasing shareholders with “Shazam plus”, now it’s just another iPhone stock app rolled into Apple’s stupidly big bottom line

I don’t think the goal is to win swing voters, it’s to delegitimize the court as much as possible in the eyes of *base* voters to create upwards political pressure for court reform. “How are you going to handle SCOTUS” is a fundamental question, and it should be asked of every Dem in a primary!

Like, I take your point that voting will not end capitalism or end Israel's destruction of Gaza. That sucks. But every few months or years I get the opportunity to push an "abortion rights" button and I am going to do it every time, and I haven't yet heard a reason why I shouldn't.

> At best you get a choice between abortion and not abortion. If, at best, voting is nothing more than a binary choice between abortion and not abortion, and has no impact on anything else, then I am going to vote for abortion every time because abortion matters to me, and it should matter to you.

Each election is an independent event that has good and bad outcomes. I vote for the best outcome in each election. That means voting out the ghouls in primaries and then voting against the fascists in general elections.

Voting uncommitted is definitionally different than not voting, since primary voters are high political engagement. It’s explicitly a protest vote in most primaries and an organized protest against Gaza policy in this particular primary.
