  • Same thing as us. One big thing for everyone, not just centered on climate, is get semis (mostly) off the road. Primary method of shipping should be freight trains, for multiple reasons including environmental.

    You could feed the damn trains with coal and it’d better for the environment than running a hundred semis across the country and all the road maintenance that requires.

    Our last administration was doing pretty well on green energy. We can both do better than 80% if we include nuclear.

    EVs over ICE vehicles. Charging stations. Encourage home solar and battery solutions.

    Actually regulate industry.

    Regulating the seas might be more difficult and require more cooperation.

    Honestly it shouldn’t be hard to get out of the top 25 countries for per capita CO2 emissions.










  • Yes, those people were notoriously loyal otherwise…

    Or maybe these same people all tend to come up on close votes and we don’t pay attention to who voted for or against the housing reform bill that just passed because they didn’t matter this time.

    Either name a dem that voted against the housing reform bill or drop “rotating villain” as the always go-to theory.

    It’s a good thing to keep it mind, but it generally isn’t applying in this political environment.



  • Unpopular opinion — The electoral college and Senate can stay as-is. At a glance it might seem weird to give votes to land, but on the other hand you shouldn’t want every state between Utah and the Mississippi to become the country’s public dumping ground.

    Yeah, there are problems, but the other reforms might be enough. Overturning Citizens United, cleansing the Supreme Court of RV bribes and corruption, eliminating gerrymandering, and proportional elections should cover enough that we don’t need to eliminate Nebraska’s votes.
