Democrats hate being progressive publicly.

Or privately.

At ease, Ensign. College debt, affordable care act, child tax credits, all things for the working class. I get they fucken suck, but they do better than just preaching trickle down like the rubes.

College debt - they didn't even vote on it, making it easier for the courts to dismantle.

ACA: no public option, it further entrenched the abusive and useless insurance industry and it was 15 years ago. How much longer do you intend to coast on it?

Child tax credit: the one that Manchin killed?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

child tax credit looks alive and well.

The ACA sucks but its the only reason I even have insurance to get my teeth cleaned and shit.

College debt - they definitely cleared a lot with it and did what they could. You not happy that they still helped? It has to be perfect or its absolutely dog doodie poopy stinky ew how did you not dismantle private healthcare in one term?

I get it, I'm fed up and went to the socialist party. But complaint about shit that did in fact help people is brain dead. Dont expect a 180 from neoliberals, but its great they tried in their own way.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
