Spend 8 years watching both parties ignote their struggles, and then vote for the one that’s actively promising to make them worse?

Bold move, Cotton.

I don’t disagree with the general premise.

But saying “this quarry hauler is only barely worse than pickup trucks” when it takes double the distance to see one…feels disingenuous. Same with the “this tractor cab has better visibility but requires a special license”, yeah cause a heavy laden trailer massively increases the stopping distance and requires a more advanced skill set.

I also feel like the kinda situations where “a three year was suddenly less than 1m from my bumper with zero warning” is more of a walkability/road design/driver awareness issue than one specifically solvable by increased visibility. I’m also aware I’m no traffic safety scientist; also more visibility is of course better.

I feel like this focuses on something that’s rooted more in emotion than logic or data, but there is a link between hood height and pedestrian injury severity iirc, and lowering that does increase visibility as a result.

Not sure how a kid of a stockbroker and a marketing exec is at all “working class”

The ole “this one leaks so just solder another onto the end” trick.

Idk bro some opinions just ain’t worth trying to understand.

“Some people don’t deserve basic human rights” is a pretty simple ‘youre probably a piece of shit if you think this’.

I don’t need to “try to understand” that. It’s wrong, and it’s offensive. Validating that stance by treating it as worthy of consideration is just bigotry that you can feel better about.

Cool, its objectively worse for people and society in general though.

Even wounded, I’m willing to believe the pelican just wanted to see if it could.

They love to size things up to see if they’ll fit in their mouth lol.

Ya friend got gripped by that “want them -> want to be them” pipeline

Imagine trying to claim that you should be able to freely self-insert onto a character that had an entire game about losing their memory and rediscovering who they are lmao.

Both of these things can be true though.

Also in this case that hitch isn’t effectively blocking any space the truck wasn’t already ( with the trash can there, so much if the sidewalk is impassable due to the truck the hitch is practically a non-factor).

Generally the bigger concern about them is increased damage in a rear end collision.
