Very true, but much more difficult because Harris actually has to commit to something positive. It's easier for the astroturfers to just throw dirt at Trump.
That's great, sincerely (despite over half of the pages being cover art, pictures, or other filler).
Use that in their advertising, not more beating a dead Toupee.
😭😭😭
Ctrl+F "climate crisis" - only non footnotes result:
Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will work to lower household energy costs and create millions of new jobs, ^(while tackling the climate crisis)
Like we get it you're a centrist capitalist that wants to appease those two classes - but I'm sick of folk pretending that the Democrats are what's gonna move the needle to the left instead of remembering how they kicked Bernie to the ground because their corpo interests couldn't stomach actual progressive policies.
Get tf out of here with that vote for the lesser evil shit - bitch at this point it feels like far right fascism has more power to turn people away and toward leftist solutions than this milk toast centrist bullshit pandering smh...
"you see you have to vote for the right of center candidate because otherwise you're being naïve and not a real leftist, I am very smart!!" - like start fucking voting for your own class interests and abolish the two party system - but frogs must love the warmth I guess....
This is quite disingenuous, as the document offers several things that will help mitigate climate change, including improving energy efficiency of buildings and investing in renewable energy. It also mentions climate resilience (though you won't find that if you simply Ctrl-F the term).
I'm being disingenuous?
Ok, show me where does the policy book say anything about upholding international climate agreements? Where does it say anything about reducing fossil fuel usage? What does it say about banning fracking? What does it say about taxing mass polluters? What does it say about holding industry accountable for externalities, environmental damage or health impacts? What does it say about, right to repair, production reduction and shifting focus on extending product lifecycles? Nothing!
My screenshot is literally all that's said about the climate crisis - and you're the one pretending that some thin veiled renewable energy investment and tax credits incentives for insulation and heat pumps is in any way enough to "help mitigate climate change" - and yeah I'm sure those two sentences about resilience is anything but self-centered slop to protect US interests from foreign oil instability and global warming induced climate disasters.
Look I understand that as an economic centrist that only cares about job creation and GDP you may think this policy has enough to pacify those damn environmental hippies so they shut up and let the economy keep chugging on - but don't try and convince anyone that this is anything but self-serving capitalistic propaganda 🤡
Trump deserves all the dirt thrown at him.
I do hope you'll notice how many people have downvoted you. I know it won't matter to you, but check out that number.
