Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Let me start by saying: Fuck Trump.

But it would be nice to have a single policy from Democrats that is forward thinking enough to make it unalterable in the near future.

Republicans, for decades, have been dismantling every progressive policy put forth by the DNC at a rate much faster than they can create them. This has now gotten so bad that it includes undoing law settled decades ago like Roe vs Wade.

ALL of this damage could have been avoided if Democrats put ANY effort into making their policies permanant instead of easily altered in the near future.

They had the chance to codify Roe. And now it's gone, and likely never coming back. They had the chance for the universal health option in ACA. And because of a single complaint from Lieberman, it's now gone and never coming back.

Bidens Inflation reduction act is now no different.

I find it incredibly frustrating to hear you say "this policy would have remained in effect no matter what happened to him if Congress and a future President left it alone" when there is decades of evidence to suggest that it would not be left alone.

Democrats have had their policies easily removed for going on 20 years simply because they continually lack the foresight and humility to consider their efforts can be so easily undone by a loud idiot with access to social media.

They learned nothing from Bush W. And doubled down on it not happening with Trump.

It has been decades of blatant negligence on their part to create policies with any foresight built into them.

The GOP is about to ban AI legislation for 10 years, so it is unquestionably feasible for the DNC to do the same.

Joe Bidens legacy is much more likely to be related to this lack of foresight as it clearly effected the very election itself (no primaries) in addition to his policies.
