Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

MODERATORS
Chinese Propaganda go brrrrrt.
Also the reasons why we shouldn't buy Chinese cars are exactly the reasons not to buy American cars because they are guilty of the same shit.
But imagine if we lived in a world where there are other manufacturers?
So buy who's vehicles? We don't make anything here.
European, Korean, Japanese.
So same as before, reward the old brands who dragged their heels on electrification until the market forced them to adapt?
Nissan and Renault were among the pioneers, That's Europe and Japan. So your cranky sour post doesn't even make sense.
Europe is also far ahead of USA in every way, both on production and implementation.
Japan spend enormous resources trying to get hydrogen to work. Which many scientists continued to claim was the future.
China had a young industry, that requires huge investments to catch up no matter if they chose ICE or Electric. The Chinese government was wise enough to see Electric is the way forward, and gave Chinese makers huge subsidies to encourage them to focus on electric.
So please explain what point it is you are trying to make? Because your post makes absolutely zero sense in this reality.
If someone wants to provide an electric car that has zero amenities and is push buttons and manual everything expect for it’s fuel source, I’ll bite. Otherwise I’ll stick to scavenging 80s Subarus.
