This seems like a distinction without a difference. It is still the case that the only people influencing the election outcome are the voters in the swing states. The outcome will always be "40% + swing-states" versus "40% +

> At any time, any of the other 100 voters could have changed their votes and the outcome would have changed. This is where your analogy is getting tripped up. The EV outcome for the vast majority of states is certain. California's

I think it's probably you. I've been a subscriber to Asimovs for 5+ years and every issue has at least one or two stories that make me say "wow." But I figure at some point I will have read enough stories that I'll

I listed three concrete actions Dems could have taken or attempted, and didn't. You should try actually reading the posts you're responding to. You're angry at someone who isn't me.

Yes, obviously. I'm saying the current situation is partly the result of Dems like Biden not taking action to prevent it.

This has been the Dem strategy for my entire life, yes. You are seeing the outcome of this strategy now. I argue it is not yielding desirable results, and they should try something else.

I've voted D in every election of my life, including Biden and Harris. Don't put this on me. Dems had their chance. They propped up a barely functioning, senile old man to respond to Republicans' threats, and he failed to do

Nope. There is no opposition. The US is a single party state now, like Russia and China.

2016-2020 was the wakeup call. We got Biden instead. Dems won't be fixing this problem.

Yeah. It's best played these days with a walkthrough on hand to look up any puzzle that isn't immediately obvious. The vast majority of the puzzles aren't worth the effort. Great art, story, voice acting, and music, though.

Good find! Interesting data in that. I don't think a garage is a requirement to charging at home, but that's still a fair point and a lower number than I expected.

We got our first EV last month (2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5) and we are currently doing this. It is just barely feasible if you don't drive much (< ~30mi / day?) and are home quite a lot (at least 10 contiguous hours daily, i.e. overn
