Undecided voters say they now support Joe Biden after debate
  • I agree with you. My thinking is, as a politically active person who is around politically active people from all over the spectrum, that no one has really heard from Trump in the past 3 years, besides the ones that wanted too. I've heard his voice maybe 10 times? Heard about him, of course, but not from him.

    While the debate was an absolute shitshow, Trump was Trump. He reminded everyone for 90 minutes what it was like to have him in every room, on every channel, at every dinner table, and in every conversation. Undecideds are who they are, but they didn't like that in 2020 when they voted for Biden. People's memories are short and I think they forgot how terrible he was.

  • Stay Mad, Tankies
  • Cabinet and federal appointments are the big thing. That's why I'll take Biden over Trump. I'm not just voting for him, I'm voting for the 4000 jobs in energy, health, labor, transportation, etc. to be run by Democrats, liberals, and qualified people.

    Trump, and project 2025 plan to fill all those roles with right wing nutjobs who will do anything to please the right. On top of those 4000, they'd expand the presidential appointment power to fire up to 45% of the federal workforce. Meteorologist who said the hurricane won't hit Alabama? GONE! Doctor who said injecting bleach was a bad idea? FIRED!

    I'll take anyone who won't put Project 2025 in motion.

  • [Question] I've just been alerted I was affected by a data breach, what now?
  • Freeze your credit on all three bureaus. IIRC it is free for all of them, just don't get tricked into enrolling in their credit monitoring service. You're there to freeze and unfreeze your credit, nothing more. From then on, any time you apply for something that requires a credit check, you need to go thaw each credit bureau temporarily. They all let you schedule thaws, so just open it for a day, apply. And close it back up. Or however long your credit check takes.

    The premium service offered by these data breaches is pretty terrible. In some cases, they'll have a clause that says if you accept, you can't sue or be part of a class action suit. If you have a credit card with monitoring included, they will notify you way faster if your credit is run. My credit card companies email me within minutes of an application being submitted. The paid service I got from a breach years ago doesn't let me know till about a week later.

  • Game-sized Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has been delayed indefinitely by Bethesda’s incoming next-gen update
  • “the unavoidable fact that it’s going to break our core systems” means that fixing everything “will take some time”. As such, no replacement launch date was given - “We might get lucky with a day-one fix, it’s unlikely, but it might be a month,” the developer said. “Soon as those fixes are done, we can put it back up again.”

    Since 'indefinitely' tends to mean forever in gaming news, it's worth clarifying that the creators just can't give a date right now. They need to wait and see what needs to be updated, which makes sense.

  • Some polls back up this analysis. A Quinnipiac survey shows Kennedy getting 13 percent of the vote; he has support from 9 percent of Democrats, 8 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of independents. The poll shows Biden leading Trump by three points in a head-to-head matchup but Trump ahead by one point when third-party candidates are included. Though both numbers are within the poll’s margin of error, they suggest that Trump could benefit if the election isn’t seen as a binary choice.

    However, other polls show Kennedy pulling more voters from Trump, and the truth is no one knows how the election will ultimately shake out. “The public polling, if you dig into it, can be really head-swiveling,” said Smith. “It’s very hard to gauge the impact, but it does seem like he pulls from both, and right now — emphasis on ‘right now’ — slightly more from Biden.”

    Kennedy certainly has no qualms about spoiling the election for Trump. On CNN on Monday, he argued that Biden poses a “much worse” threat to democracy than Trump because of the Biden administration’s attempts to get social media companies to remove vaccine misinformation, much of it spread by Kennedy

    I really don't see how a pro-Israel, against any ceasefire agreement, candidate that also believes the free market will fix climate change stands to gain more support from former Biden voters than former Trump voters.

  • It’s “Possible” Mike Johnson Will Lose Speakership Over Ukraine: Rep. Don Bacon
  • Damned if they do and damned if they don't. They either get condemned for helping keep a GOP speaker in place or they get criticized for not helping and getting stuck another freedom caucus pick speaker, after they bicker for a month.

  • EPA issues new auto rules aimed at cutting carbon emissions, boosting electric vehicles and hybrids
  • This is part of his Infrastructure Bill, requiring battery materials to be extracted or processed in the United States or a U.S. free-trade agreement partner or recycled in North America on an increasing scale. China is way ahead, no question there. It takes time to build that infrastructure and by locking tax credits behind American investment we add pressure to build them on the US.

  • Tesla Cars Lose Value Three Times Faster Than A Maserati, Study Says
  • Fully agree. I got my EV used and it's 7 years old now and buying it was definitely the right choice for me. But I remember considering all of those factors when I was shopping. Used EVs becoming cheap is great and helps get them into the hands of people who can't afford new ones. Sure I'll make less selling when I do, but it's a tool for transportation, not an investment.

  • Tesla Cars Lose Value Three Times Faster Than A Maserati, Study Says
  • While the Herz fleet being sold is definitely impacting Tesla resale prices specifically, I think the larger impact is ICE vs EV resale in general. An ICE car from 5 years ago is not all that different than a new one today, mechanically speaking. 5 years in the EV world is a very long time. A new model will come with longer range and faster charging that was not feasible 5 years ago. So a brand that only sells EVs is going to suffer a bit more in studies like these.

  • Trump posts nearly $92 million bond in E. Jean Carroll defamation case | CNN Politics
  • He's still not actually paying her. He's just securing a bond that lets him avoid paying while he seeks an appeal. Just keep kicking the can down the road.

    "Donald J. Trump on Friday posted a $91.6 million bond in a defamation case he recently lost to the writer E. Jean Carroll, staving off a potential legal and financial disaster just days before a deadline to secure the deal. The bond, provided by an outside insurance company, will prevent Ms. Carroll from collecting the judgment while Mr. Trump appeals."

  • Kyrsten Sinema Is Resigning in the Most Sinema Fashion Ever (Delusional)
  • That, and she was quoted in Romney's book (insert salt grain) saying she didn't care about reelection because she was already elected and could go sit on any board she wanted or become a university president. She was always just in it for the money and status.

  • Saw 6-8 Porsches covered up on Pikes Peak CO today

    They had GA manufacturer plates on the rear with EU plates on the front. The drivers wouldn't say what they were doing with them, just that it was secret. All the logos were removed. No significant differences between them on the exterior, but they had different exhaust configurations.
