    Oh yeah we will just keep waiting and watch them do significantly less than the bare minimum until the famines begin to finally affect us. Then, we will do something about it I’m sure.

      Every time they run on an environmental policy, they lose. Every time they implement an environmental policy, they lose. And you’re amazed they aren’t gun ho about it? Like they just lost despite the green energy in the IRA. And Trump won with drill baby drill. Do you think Dems will run on it next time? Fuck no they won’t. They won’t touch it with 10 foot pole. They will run on “It’s the economy, stupid.” If you want environmental policy, you need to give them consistent and overwhelming victories.

        Yeah so we should dismantle our political parties. They clearly don’t care about us and are willing to let us die horrible deaths. They do not serve us, they serve their donors and we put up with it for now.

          We can see the entire history.

          Gore ran on environmentalism. And bam he lost the election.

          So what did Obama learn? Don’t touch it. Not one bit. And he won.

          Hillary said maybe now is the time, she said she’d have a map room. She declared war on climate change. And bam she lost the election.

          So what did Biden learn? Don’t touch it. Don’t say one word. And he won. But Biden did green energy anyway. And what did polls say? That he was going to lose the election.

          So what did Kamala learn? There is no thanks for it. Don’t run on it. It doesn’t get anything.

          And what won the election? “It’s the economy, stupid”. No one is running on environmentalism for a long time.

          The best we can hope for is that Dems win without running on it, and do it anyway just like Biden did.
