Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal government’s efforts to counter climate change — and it wouldn’t stop with President Joe Biden’s policies.
The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.
Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.
Democrats are not center-right, and comparisons to European political parties are not accurate. The US has a “first past the post” electoral system. US political parties are more like coalitions of smaller parties.
The Democratics encompass all the left wing parties, except the Greens (who are essentially Russian agents at this point). The Republicans are the conservative coalition (immigration nuts, rich dudes, Nazis, people who have experienced a trauma and are taking their anger and fear out on the world, etc.).
If you want to move the Democrats left, you need to get elected and raise money like AOC does. Sorry, shouting on the Fediverse doesn’t count.
Well said. Democrats are like the German SDP + Die Linke, while the Republicans are CDU+FDP+AfD.
What is this world salad? Democrats and Republicans may be equivalent to the political coalitions and federations of the EU but it is not a great solution that they try and represent so much. Both parties should be broken up and FPTP needs to be replaced with ranked choice. I’m not shouting on the fediverse, I’m joining a discussion already going on lmao
