It wouldn’t be a big deal if we made watering lawns illegal. Americans waste billions of gallons of water on fucking grass, often in the desert. Also golf courses should be illegal, etc.
Why would Biden propose this? When will people wrap their tiny brains around the fact that in a democracy, politicians do what the voters want. And voters want big expensive cars, suburban blight, lawns, and meat.
A lot more than you think. And certainly anyone who knows a little bit about climate change. The US is certainly far behind the rest of the developed world on that, but it’s starting to catch on.
Idk how to break this to you but only like 1% of Americans are vegan. Giant Gas-guzzling SUVs are the most popular vehicles, and don’t even get me started on Fast Fashion or all the other bullshit that’s literally everywhere I look in your worthless culturally cancerous society.
There’s no doubt that the US has extreme problems when it comes to health and consumption. Much more so than any other developed country on earth. Unhealthy lifestyles are ingrained into the culture. But I still notice more people taking note. Not so much among conservative groups, but much more among progressives and independents.
Correct, it’s a flawed democracy, for many reasons, not least of which is the over-representation of older rural voters who are religious and frankly insane (but I repeat myself). Happily they’re the ones who will die first to the climate apocalypse.
Anyway, that’s why polls showing 51% approval of any policy are politically irrelevant. Except in this case popular approval for measures limiting car usage and meat eating probably hovers in the single digits.

Does anyone seriously think Biden is ever going to propose any of those ideas to offset this?

FTFY
Naw, come on. Be serious. What fraction of likely voters aren’t in favor of these things? 5%? 10%?

The US is not a democracy
