What progress could they possibly be thinking of?

And then there’s the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

Criticism of Biden is not an endorsement of Trump. For God’s sake.

Never stop reminding them that abortion rights were lost while Democrats controlled the presidency and Congress.

Biden is bending over backwards to funnel weapons to Israel. I don’t remember him going the extra mile to protect abortion rights at all.

Protecting abortions rights was one of the more compelling “harm reduction” arguments I heard from pro-electoralism progressives, enough to get me to vote .

But that ship has clearly sailed on the federal level, the DNC has done Jack shit to codify abortion rights on the federal level. So the real focus now is on the state level. And I don’t think who POTUS is really matters much there, Vermont and California aren’t gonna shut down planned parenthood just cuz DC said so. So yeah if you wanna keep fighting at the state level go for it, but it’s already a lost fight at the federal.

What do you mean? Biden’s made plenty of progress on climate change. From expanding drilling leases on federal lands to building out the LNG infrastructure, which is likely contributing hidden emissions through methane leakage, to making sure that the US is not meeting its share of the emissions reductions necessary to keep the planet under 2 C (i.e., the threshold at which we lose virtually all of our shallow-water coral reefs), he’s zealously guarded America’s status as the world’s #1 climate change contributor.

Oh and he passed an EV tax credit that’s definitely going to mitigate all that, I almost forgot.

Undoubtedly.

There is no gas infrastructure which does not leak. It’s theoretically possible but it’s an impractical proposition in real terms and in terms of cost.

Reminder that methane is about 150x as potent as carbon dioxide over its 11-ish year lifespan in the atmosphere before degrading into, you guessed it, carbon dioxide.

Good thing that the next 11 years aren’t the crunch time for climate change, right?

Biden is the president and he still lost.

Democrats do nothing but lose even on the rare occasion they’re allowed in power. Anything to the left of Hitler has lost every single culture war since 1980 lmao.
