Looks like it bans natural gas. Doesn’t mention diesel in the article. I was wondering what they’d do for backup power.
Battery backups
I’m not sure the reliability of those, but it’s not like Diesel are any better when you have to change the fuel out every so often.
The mandate, authorized by a 2007 energy law signed by President George W. Bush
That is how far the Overton Window has moved.
You mean voting works??? ShockedPikachu.jpg [while looking at retarded ideas to ban the EPA]
*I have no idea why this is being downvoted. The Overton Window moved because Trump won an election. Want to move the Overton Window? Then VOTE.
My reading is that they mean to say the conservative party has continued to move so far to the right that conservative positions from only 15 years ago are now “radical lib” positions.
Though I hesitate to frame this as the Overton Window. In society at large, the Overton Window continues to move to the left, being gay is normalized now, cannabis is normalized now, I would frame the conservative movement as a desperate grasping to prevent the Overton Window from continuing on its current path, normalizing a genderless society for example.
Economically, both American parties are right wing corporate welfare state proponents.
The united states is a corporate plutocracy, you can buy power and influence, and being poor is being increasingly criminalized. While the system squeezes wealth from the middle class like a sponge. It is engineered to transfer your life savings into the hands of the healthcare owners at the end of your life, instead of to your children.
The poverty class grows.
Yeah, the Overton window moved because Trump won an election. I have no idea why I’m being downvoted (unless it’s by the people that say "I’m not voting because dems aren’t left enough).
As for the other items you bring up, gay bashing has now transformed to trans bashing. I have little doubt they would go back to gay bashing if they could. They’re already trying to divide and conquer with “just take out the trans of LGTBQ+ pretty please”. Weed is an interesting issue that both sides really should agree on and we’re finally coming to our senses. Economically, we have regulated capitalism. GOP wants to remove all regulation and the Dems want proper regulation. They are not the same, not even close.
Maybe don’t use slurs in your comments /shrug
MAGA most definitely isn’t voting for welfare state policies.
They just don’t know their candidates want to take away their Social Security and Medicare. Neither of which I consider a welfare state, personally.
Corporate welfare. Not welfare for citizens.
Looks like Biden is poisoning the well - enabling a whole lot of “progressive” legislation in rapid succession that an incoming Republican regime will obviously undo first thing.
It tells me that Biden isn’t banking on winning the election.
Ah yes, giving his voters what they want, the ultimate sign of defeat.
Since when does the political establishment give the voting fodder anything they want?
Literally always. It’s been giving the self centered boomers what they’ve wanted for 40 years. Now that Millennials are the largest voting block, they’re starting to listen to us.
Now that Millennials are the largest voting block, they’re starting to listen to us.
I hope you know of a place that will sell you cope in bulk - something tells me you’re going to need lots of it in the foreseeable future.
Are you denying that the boomers have been getting what they wanted?
You only know boomers that got “what they wanted?”
Just how spoilt and privileged are you, lib?
You don’t even know what liberal means you fucking moron. I AM YOUR ENEMY. I’m no liberal. I’m a goddamned Leftist and there are more of us every day.

🥱
He won’t be in office, or alive, then.
Or both! I’m gonna go get my yellow face paint for when dufus is made president again by the unknown electoral college.
I haven’t decided yet. Quit my job and do drugs for a few years or just try to do something to as many bolice as possible until I have too many holes in my body to continue. In Minecraft.
Waiting for the “but but but Biden bad and doesn’t do anything” comments.

Yeah it was pretty unanimously supported
If you have a spare minute and thirty-two seconds.
Bernie Sanders: “Poll after poll shows that the American people do not want to give more military aid to Netanyahu”
voting for a government that’s enabling a genocide is voting for that genocide to continue, no matter how you decide to answer on a poll
We’re in a representative democracy that takes a couple years for all elected positions within a government to change completely assuming every person in said government was voted out. So I ask you, why the fuck would you assume massive change of policy and position within a year? Especially since support for Israel was pretty widespread for the better part of eighty years.
why would you assume a change of policy at all over any timescale if you keep electing people propping up a genocide?
Did ya fucken read my comment, most Americans werent aware of the genocide up until relatively recently. Even then traction against Israel has only built up within less than a fucken year, and I shall restate that the US has been backing Israel for longer than most people have been alive at this point. Why the fuck would you expect substantial change before theres even been an election.
You’ve got one side sending food and clean water while the other side advocates Netanyahu “finish the job”, but sure “both sides bad” about it all you want.
Relatively small amounts of food and water and billions in weapons for the people attacking them…
10 US Naval Ships dedicated exclusively to aid to Gaza probably beats the 10 Bn Military Aid.
you can talk around it with all the mental gymnastics you like, but ultimately voting for biden is a signal to the democratic party that their base doesn’t care about genocide enough to not vote for him, which is all they care about
And not voting for Biden resulting in a Trump victory signals an immediate end to Palestinians, among many other horrible atrocities to come as the US declines into a mix of Plutocracy and Evangelical Theocracy.
I’ll admit that more people opposed the Ukraine Aid (all R tho) than the Israel Aid, but it’s still wrong to say unanimously.
