Waiting for the “but but but Biden bad and doesn’t do anything” comments.

Yeah it was pretty unanimously supported
If you have a spare minute and thirty-two seconds.
Bernie Sanders: “Poll after poll shows that the American people do not want to give more military aid to Netanyahu”
voting for a government that’s enabling a genocide is voting for that genocide to continue, no matter how you decide to answer on a poll
We’re in a representative democracy that takes a couple years for all elected positions within a government to change completely assuming every person in said government was voted out. So I ask you, why the fuck would you assume massive change of policy and position within a year? Especially since support for Israel was pretty widespread for the better part of eighty years.
why would you assume a change of policy at all over any timescale if you keep electing people propping up a genocide?
Did ya fucken read my comment, most Americans werent aware of the genocide up until relatively recently. Even then traction against Israel has only built up within less than a fucken year, and I shall restate that the US has been backing Israel for longer than most people have been alive at this point. Why the fuck would you expect substantial change before theres even been an election.
You’ve got one side sending food and clean water while the other side advocates Netanyahu “finish the job”, but sure “both sides bad” about it all you want.
Relatively small amounts of food and water and billions in weapons for the people attacking them…
10 US Naval Ships dedicated exclusively to aid to Gaza probably beats the 10 Bn Military Aid.
you can talk around it with all the mental gymnastics you like, but ultimately voting for biden is a signal to the democratic party that their base doesn’t care about genocide enough to not vote for him, which is all they care about
And not voting for Biden resulting in a Trump victory signals an immediate end to Palestinians, among many other horrible atrocities to come as the US declines into a mix of Plutocracy and Evangelical Theocracy.
I’ll admit that more people opposed the Ukraine Aid (all R tho) than the Israel Aid, but it’s still wrong to say unanimously.
yes offsetting climate emissions by the smallest possible degree is definitely equivalent to allowing the ongoing genocide attempt in gaza
legitimately what is your point?
There he is! Wooooo
lmfao
hate to say it but i’ll see you when trump wins
Nothing will ever be enough for you.
biden not throwing away any shot of winning a second term would be enough for me
Buddy he never had a chance with you, that’s why other guy said “nothing will ever be enough for you”
Guy lost your vote the moment the letter “D” was in front of his name.
how in the name of fuck are we still doing this
it’s absolutely wild that you people are still willing to die on the hill of “anybody who doesn’t want to vote for state sponsored genocide is a secret trump supporter”
I say again, nothing will ever be enough for you. Ciao.
good lord how is it that every time i engage with a biden supporter it destroys the remaining faith i have that he might win reelection just that little bit more?
yes i am sure you will win this man re-election through snide remarks
fuck me
Looks like it bans natural gas. Doesn’t mention diesel in the article. I was wondering what they’d do for backup power.
I don’t know about the particulars of this one, but these electrification mandates usually have exemptions for critical facilities and backup systems. It seems to be more about never using nat gas powered appliances like say a water heater. This also keeps in line with the new DC energy codes that are becoming mandatory in two years, and those have exemptions for diesel generators and such.
I figured as much. Gotta have backup power.
The first sentence references fossil fuels. I’m pretty sure that means diesel.
Hey cool, we’re catching up to what the rest of the world was doing two decades ago!
Battery backups
I’m not sure the reliability of those, but it’s not like Diesel are any better when you have to change the fuel out every so often.
It’s the longevity that’s a problem more than reliability.
For 23 minutes, yes.
Nor does it ban shitty construction materials made out of petroleum.
damn, it’s almost like the “bridge fuel” talk about methane gas was full of shit
Im really confused about all this. It says it’s a mandate from 2007. But Biden did it? But he’s also not doing it until he’s not president anymore…
starting in 2030
🥱
He won’t be in office, or alive, then.
Or both! I’m gonna go get my yellow face paint for when dufus is made president again by the unknown electoral college.
I haven’t decided yet. Quit my job and do drugs for a few years or just try to do something to as many bolice as possible until I have too many holes in my body to continue. In Minecraft.
No plastic in federal buildings?
Cool.
The article says fossil fuels. Not all petrochemical derivatives.
Reject the flimsyness of plastic embrace the strength and stubbornness of steel and stone!
For Rock and Stone! ⛏️
Rock and Stone or you ain’t comin home
It’s only Ashto Afpo for me.
aren’t VA hospitals federal buildings?
are they just going to not have backup power past batteries in the case of an emergency?
Does the federal government actually care about the VA or veterans? I’m sure there are exclusions for life safety though.
i mean maybe not, but they probably care about veterans above the average person in america, so not caring about veterans is probably a bad sign for said average person
There are so many veterans unable to get care because the government drags their ass. Their paperwork system is so old that it takes forever to get anything approved.
yeah and they still care about veterans more than the average person
Looks like Biden is poisoning the well - enabling a whole lot of “progressive” legislation in rapid succession that an incoming Republican regime will obviously undo first thing.
It tells me that Biden isn’t banking on winning the election.
Ah yes, giving his voters what they want, the ultimate sign of defeat.
Since when does the political establishment give the voting fodder anything they want?
Now? Source: literally this article.
You mean the legislation that Biden knows is going to disappear in a puff of smoke come November?

Literally always. It’s been giving the self centered boomers what they’ve wanted for 40 years. Now that Millennials are the largest voting block, they’re starting to listen to us.
Now that Millennials are the largest voting block, they’re starting to listen to us.
I hope you know of a place that will sell you cope in bulk - something tells me you’re going to need lots of it in the foreseeable future.
Are you denying that the boomers have been getting what they wanted?
You only know boomers that got “what they wanted?”
Just how spoilt and privileged are you, lib?
You don’t even know what liberal means you fucking moron. I AM YOUR ENEMY. I’m no liberal. I’m a goddamned Leftist and there are more of us every day.
He already won, he’s running against the worlds biggest and greatest LOSER. NOBODY loses more than tRump! Go suck an egg Komrade
Lol! If you say so.
