Lol you all find yourselves special because you are not a "Republican" sad ass group right here, being a liberal doesn't make you special or your opinion correct. Reading your comments are sad to the point of how far some of you are gone with being wrapped up in a system that doesn't give a shit about you.
Let me guess Democrats are the side of peace and love. Oddly enough I recall them telling people to punch people in the face around the COVID years. And to fight people during the Floyd fiasco. Well good things most liberals are cowards and only know how to run their mouths while not having an actual plan on how to solve real problems.
Ohh p.s. I'm not Republican so good luck attacking from that vector.
Funny how every fucking time someone says "I'm not Republican, but" or "I'm not right wing, but" they end up parroting Republican / right wing talking points.
Just the other day I read a comment on Facebook and it starts off with a qualifier that they're pro EV. Then they spew all sorts of anti-EV bullshit and it's just reeks of disinformation. If someone feels the need to qualify their opinion by saying they pro, before acting against, they're just fucking idiots.
Not necessarily. And I don't think you meant it like this could be read.
You can absolutely be pro something but recognize the downsides of it. You can be pro vaxxination, but be critical of how the government handles rollout, you can be pro EV but still remain convinced that the resources needed for batteries are (at the moment) produced using child labor and causing environmental destruction. Constructive critique is valid and necessary.
People don't need to be fanboys, sitting on the fence is completely okay in regards to many topics.
What I think you meant to criticise (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that lots of invalid critique and unreasonable opposition hides behind a thin veneer of "I'm actually in favor of {x}" and yes, we're all sick of it.
Invalid critique, yes. That's what I meant by anti-EV bullshit. They talked about how unsafe the charging stations were so they leave the vehicle, even in very cold weather. They talk about the intense humming noise from the Level 2 charger at home which shakes the entire house. There are some valid critiques but when you start off with the bullshit ones, it's hard to take anything else they say as anything but lies.
