    Can’t survive another Biden term either. It’s the planet or capitalism and the people in charge would rather kill us all than end capitalism.

      What he’s been able to do has been limited by the most conservative Democrat whose vote was needed to pass legislation.

      Get a better congress along with a Biden reelection, and it puts us into the we-stand-a-chance range

        the only thing that will change is more rigged-to-fail ‘attempts’ to look like theyre trying

        america isn’t on a path to fix things, anyone who says otherwise is completely delusional

      Correct me if I’m wrong but their military is a huge polluter, and I don’t see that as being something either side would change due to the politics around fucking with the military, so it’s even more of a problem on top of the already massive problem that is capitalism

        Biden has started going down the road of electricifying the military. But of course, slimming down the military is the kind of holy cow neither mainstream party would touch. We are seeing a quasi-worldwide military push anyway, which is unsurprising in the wider context of missing global climate action.

            There’s more important issues than burn pits tbh:

            The Department of Defense uses 4,600,000,000 US gallons (1.7×1010 L) of fuel annually, an average of 12,600,000 US gallons (48,000,000 L) of fuel per day. A large Army division may use about 6,000 US gallons (23,000 L) per day. According to the 2005 CIA World Factbook, if it were a country, the DoD would rank 34th in the world in average daily oil use, coming in just behind Iraq and just ahead of Sweden.
