    You misunderstand, I’m not picking on the one guy. I protested Bush and Obama’s mishandling of climate change and would have done the same for Trump and Biden if I was still in the states. Biden is the best of those four but still not good enough - and there are politicians he could tap to make more effective changes.

      You misunderstand, I’m not picking on the one guy.

      Just saying he sucks? Because he only made 40% progress with almost the entire rest of the system rigged against him?

      I mean, if you want to walk it back to “he made some progress but it’s very small in comparison to the scale of the problem and we need more,” then like I say, I can definitely agree with that statement. But I’m not feeling like I misunderstood anything of what you said initially. I just think it wasn’t at all the same as these more recent more reasonable statements.

        Ooh, I’m not that dude, my first comment in this thread was the third one - I think that was the source of confusion.

          Ooooh

          Makes perfect sense. I committed a rookie mistake. Almost everything you actually said, I more or less agree with. (Although, the infrastructure bill has the largest investment in public transit in America’s history; it just was in there as opposed to the climate bill.) But yeah most of my real irritation was directed at the first guy.
