The Left is doing it wrong.

We need to stop calling it the green New Deal; and call it the Patriot Power Act.

We’re not trying to go green or “Woke”. No! We’re making ’Merca energy independent! We’ll stop importing oil from the tourist countries! And be energy self sufficient!

—BRANDING!!

    Or…stop defining everything as left/right and make things for people. Stop the divide, it’s what ‘they’ want.

      That is just not how it works. I wish it was, but someone will always make literally whatever political

        As long as money can control politics it will. Post scarcity might fix it someday, but so many things have to happen before then—that will disadvantage vested interests—that it’s hard to imagine humanity making it there.

        Online, there’s always this division and blame on either the left or right. In my real life experience amongst friends, people are more willing to have a normal conversation about different opinions without all the outrage like I see online.

          Definitely not my experience. I live in a “blue” area but …. A friend up north gets worked up about vaccines, and his wife runs a daycare! He’s educated and intelligent but has entirely off-base assumptions. My brother in the Midwest works for a car manufacturer …. still thinks electric vehicles are a fad that don’t work and never will. “Look around you” does not compute because it’s “just Tesla” and everyone knows they have poor uplift and loosing tons of money and only survisipve on government handouts

      Well the unfortunate part of that is it isn’t working and a solid 30% of the population will just call you ‘woke’ and ignore you for saying it.

      You’re sending some conflicting signals, my Mac

        Companies are not people, so no…I’m not.

        Political agendas are also not human, so again I’m still not.

        You’re one of those that love to cause divide.
