The Democrats gave a set back to The Clarity Act. Hurting me and 70 million of my fellow citizens in the process. No Democrats in the Senate voted for the cloture vote. Just one more example of the Democratic Party putting the petty personal differences ahead of the needs of ordinary citizens like myself.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;3084118]Welcome to the 1960's flip. Racists in the South were pulled away from voting for Democrats due to their far, far superior economic policy results by Republican Party race-baiting tactics to make them hate blacks more than they like jobs creation and wage gains.
Suckers.

Republican Party Campaign Consultant and Strategist Lee Atwater was a revered giant in the Republican Party's Southern Strategy methods for making sure White Racists understood that Reagan,
It wasn't about which Party got the White Racist votes prior to the 1960's flip or after the 1960's flip. It's about the voters who want the White Racist agenda and which Party's candidates will deliver it for them. And since the 1960's it has been Republican Party candidates. It has been a great way for them to sell their policies that further enrich their millionaire, billionaire and now trillionaire donors at the expense of everyone else as long as they can convince suckers that Blacks, transgenders and "communists" are after their jobs, sons, daughters and freedom.[/QUOTE]Spot On!
While the Democrat Party has never been perfect on their political race, gender, equality or crime policies or governing, historically they have championed these human rights, meaningfully, but again, it's not always going to be everyone's satisfaction. For the most part, they have always served hardworking American people and not the just the billionaire donor class.
The Republican Party, on the other had have only ever championed, their White Racist agenda, meant to keep Americans divided, taken away American rights and freedoms, and suckered their base into stupid culture-wars, strategically away from the real political issues of the day. While they sever their real slave masters and overlords, their billionaire buddies, always enriching themselves and picking the pockets, at the cost and lives of hardworking Americans.
As the MAGA claims Dems are racist, and yet no clear cut examples or evidence to prove it, allow me to show you just how racist, Republicans are:

[QUOTE=ShooBree;3084210]We all know that the Democrats are the racists. You don't want Caucasians to have equal rights. You're obsessed with Caucasians.

Are you helping your fellow man when you are capable of doing so or are you a leach? Are you obsessed with government because you want to see it serve the nation and the public or are you obsessed because you want more money from government?
The latest brouhaha that we have seen was the Lindsay Clancy case. Oh boy. A mother kills her three children and the feminists blamed everyone but her. It was the drugs; it was her medical providers (all women by the way); it was her husband's fault. Eight obviously activist Democratic jurors bullied the other jurors into trying to get her off on an insanity defense. There was one sole male juror who would not bend and the Democratic machine did all it could to have him tossed from the jury.
If you want to know who the racists are in society, you can watch this video and the anchor Gayle King. She loses it when she finds out the holdout juror is a black male. (Gasp!) [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySTuYw9ogFw[/URL]
"I have to sit with that for a second", she says. Gee, why Gayle? Is it because in your racist mind the holdout juror had to be an old white MAGA dude? If it makes you feel any better, Gayle, he admitted to being a Republican. You can defend being biased against men and Republicans but race not so much. You just showed the world that you and Democrats like you are the REAL racists.
So now we really know what it is to be a Democrat. The only ones responsible for anything are working men. A woman can literally kill her children and it is the fault of working men. It had to be the husband. Never mind that he made $400 k a year took off work to help more at the home, paid for a nanny, paid for a mansion, and paid for her to see all these health care providers. He was supposed to do more dammit!
And now we have women out claiming how hard it is to be a mother. You men just do not understand how hard it is. No, personally, I do and if today's women cannot handle the stress of being a mother, then I will take them at their word and say that they cannot handle doing other stressful jobs. It is not like a dumb animal can be a mom and raise their young. Oh wait.
The American woman and their Democratic simps have gotten to the point where feminism means a complete absence of any accountability. If you are an American man, you would be stupid to not get yourself a surrogate woman, a nanny, and a hooker abroad to have your fun.
With the average American woman, the only time an American man has any ownership with children is when it comes time to pay the bills. Outside of that, to the average American woman, men can fuck off.
Just remember. A woman admitted to killing her children, and American women wanted her to be not guilty and to blame her husband. Does anyone need to know anything else when it comes to how batshit crazy Democrats are?

[QUOTE=Spidy;3083924]The economics of clean renewable energy, solar, wind and batteries (SWB), is once again smashing anything the best fossil fuels (gas CCGT, coal-fired plants, petroleum oil / diesel) generators or nuclear power plants, can muster today at between $77 and $110+ / MWh.[/QUOTE]Your graph puts costs at $125 per mwh, but hey, a climate change nut is lying. What else is new?
From google, Current natural gas costs for electricity generation vary significantly by region and market structure. In the United States, wholesale electricity prices driven by natural gas in June 2026 ranged from $19.14/ MWh in New York City to $35.42/ MWh for Central Appalachian coal, with Henry Hub natural gas converting to approximately $25.19/ MWh. For new combined-cycle natural gas plants, the total levelized cost (including fuel, operations, and capital) typically ranges from $60 to $150 per MWh, with an average of $90/ MWh.
Because you have lived off government handouts your whole life, you do not understand the concept of investing. While you and the climate change nuts tried to say we were all going to be swallowed up by the ocean, those of who live in the real world have to make educated guesses about where pricing is going to be. When you invest and screw up, it costs millions and billions of dollars. When you and the climate change nuts screwed up your projections, you did the typical Democratic bullshit and said, "Never mind". So what if it cost the world trillions of dollars?
The point is that if you want to invest in energy, there is a futures market where you can lock in the price with oil and natural gas. Here is the price with oil futures: [URL]https://oilprice.com/futures/natural-gas/[/URL].
And one for natural gas [URL]https://oilprice.com/futures/natural-gas/.[/URL] So if you want to invest in a project, you can pay for the right to sell the oil and gas you are going to produce at a set price. Does your graph have any such assurance that solar and wind are going to cheaper or is that just more hopium bullshit from your so called experts?
And if you didn't notice, your solar and wind, even after the hopium bullshit, costs double the price to produce electricity from coal.
My RV has one Ecoflow power station with 4000 watts and two spare batteries also with 4000 watts for a total of 12,000 watts, and it has worked to run my AC unit all night. I can go 12 hours with night time AC and that has been a success. I no longer need a generator to stay cool at night.
By far, the fastest and easiest way to charge the power station is to plug it into a wall socket. I was stuck where I did not have one though. At first, I used the RV generator but that was financially costly so I bought a small generator about 50% bigger than the size of a toaster.
So now with two gallons of gas and in six to eight hours, I can charge the whole power station at a much cheaper cost than the RV generator.
And I thought solar was even cheaper. It's free right? No oil or gas costs right? The Ecoflow has two inputs and you can put in 2600 watts into the power station. It is set up perfectly for solar or so I thought. I was hoping that I could just plug in 2600 watts of solar and be home free.
I like this woman and her real world tests and she had one on solar panels here: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSFOgZ1DE98[/URL].
So the first thing I learn is the rooftop solar panels are damned near worthless for my needs. The wattage is just paltry. The only panels that seem to be worth a damn are the ZoupWs, and they do 400 to 500 watts per hour but do you see how fucking big they are? To charge my station in five hours, I would need five or six of these huge panels, and I would need the space of a mid-sized back yard to put down these panels. That is $3000 to get "free" electricity.
And then there is all the issues with having these panels out like getting damaged, stolen, or the sun just does not shine. In comparison to the solar and the $3000 up front cost, the small generator was $400, and I can charge the whole station much more quickly with a whopping $6 in gasoline.
If I used the RV on a daily basis, and I do not, it would be years to get a return on the solar and that is assuming it is not damaged or stolen. Once again, the math for solar just does not work.

Neither party is mine![/QUOTE]SubCmdr, I thought you were a man of FACTS verses opinions? So if I missed the FACTS in that OPINION piece, let me know!
The opinion piece you shared is provocative, and has a juicy (albeit inaccurate) headline, and all but focuses on what could be seen as internal party racial squabbling and bickering, and less about [U]the real legislative FACTS, policies and political record,[/U] that still show Democrats are championing civil rights, women's rights, and LGBTQ rights, equal rights and racial injustice, rather than the infactual racist party, that the author suggests it has become.
The Democrat political record, policies and FACTs around which party has done more for civil, minority or equal rights, speaks for itself and is a stark asymmetrical historical pattern of trying to do and doing the right legislative thing, for minority groups, when compared to Republicans.
Despite the laughable misconceived notion of Democrat internal party racism, as a some planned, carried out mass party policy, that "pales in comparison" to the Lee Atwater's Southern strategy, is ludicrous. FACT: Dems have had "racist" temerity, put forth a NOT one, BUT two (2) Black candidates and two (2) women candidates for president. Repubs NOT one in either category (not that this is an indicator of being racist or sexist, but it sure is telling).
Don't forget, Lee Atwater's Southern strategy, was indeed a planned systemic, state-sanctioned political project designed to win and hold power by codifying racial hierarchy into law and policy, designed to inflict cultural conflicts, about holding White power, representation, and resource distribution.
Needless to say, the Democratic Party has been the primary architect of nearly every major piece of civil rights, women's rights, and LGBTQ rights legislation, while the modern Republican Party has, for decades, has been the primary source of opposition to those efforts.
