Harris ran from the Biden policies that were actually popular with voters

The Harris campaign dumped Biden’s FDR-style ambitions for boring neoliberal policy planks that were an electoral dead-end

We don't flag the problem at work because we'll be tasked with the solution.

19) File this one under dealing with #FearOfChange

New #WindFarm construction is often met with protest frequently stoked by the #Carbonarchy under the guise of ecological or environmental impact. In this case, wind farms somehow threaten whales.

The #Oilygarchy just want to slow down the #EnergyTransition so they can sell the last barrel of oil from their deposits

Remember this formula:
#CleanEnergy = #CleanAir + #CoolPlanet

#ClimateCrisis

@Snoro why is it that it reads "Government"? Shouldn't it read UK, instead? Getting to #NetZero is everyone's job! Alas, for the majority of voters promises of lower taxes, Britishness (whatever that is), and #FearOfChange are far more appealing than averting the impending #ClimateBreakdown, #MassExtinction, and the vision of living in a country build upon #SocialJustice, #EqualOpportunity, and #Empathy.
Grow up everybody and take responsibility for your actions or the lack thereof!
