"A Democratic operative who has seen private polling on how a number of issues could move the 2024 presidential election — like health care, the economy and immigration — told NOTUS that, improbably, no issue was benefiting Democrats more than Project 2025. And, predictably, Democrats are capitalizing on the unpopular plan.”

    Yes. It was true in October and November of 2023, and then it stopped being true as domestic production fell from the peak it achieved in those months. Pretty sure I touched on this.

    Your link is actually a really good overview of a lot of the issues involved, why this is still a massive problem whatever level of “progress” has been made, and the successes and failures of the current administration. Like I said, if you’re up for a fact based discussion, that sounds great. It sounds like maybe you are not though. Like you didn’t even seem to be aware that both of our arguments give the same date for the peak; you offered the October 2023 article as a sort of counterargument for me saying the peak was November 2023…

    you’re assuming it was only 2023; here’s another article that shows fossil fuel generation is increase is trend upwards and estimated to continue onwards into 2025

    This is a fascinatingly specific type of non-answer to what I asked you. I asked whether climate-friendly policies that don’t directly impact China were of interest to you. It kinda sounds like the answer is “no”…

    my response converts the theory into impact; people are hurting because of these policies and the biden administration is ignoring that damage; as biden has always done.

    Yeah. Biden used to be much more conservative; he was part of that whole Clinton revolution of right-wing Democrats that was so horrifying in the 1990s. I didn’t expect all that much out of him and then he somehow wound up being this super-progressive president, by the standards of Washington, and the Democratic congress more or less (with some fuckin HUGE asterisks on that it’s true) went along with it. I was surprised. We need more of that; he was, of course, only progressive by the fairly low standards of Washington.

    biden hasn’t changed; the issues around him have changed and it only seems that biden has evolved because he needed to votes from the people that he had been shitting on for decades; as biden has also always done.

    But it’s still weird to me that you’re clinging to the talking points when I’m clearly open to the conversation. IDK. Good luck I guess. You’re giving me a chance to air out some of the factual details and expand on them, so I’m fine with talking about it even if you don’t seem like you can really make sense of what I’m saying.

    you only shared justification for shitty policies and minimized of the only facts presented with citations in this entire exchange.

      I am getting the strong impression that my attempts to engage in good faith are wasted on you

      Good luck with your talking points I guess
