The point about aviation is that we need to reduce the need for flights. Short flights, especially those that are under 600 miles over land, are prime to be replaced by high speed rail.

No amount of SAF is going to make the short flights less polluting than a robust high speed rail system between those city pairs.

Also, you called the IRA deeply unserious, not me. I called Biden’s tariffs against Chinese renewables and EVs deeply unserious because they are.

That’s an accurate term too

Also valid. The democrats and their mouthpieces in the press yelled from the rooftops that the economy was Good Actually and that people were just too dumb to see it.

Trump campaigned on the economy being bad, and then scapegoated everyone except the corporate elite that are raising prices.

Kamala isn’t on the left. The democrats aren’t on the left. This is a false dichotomy. They’re all capitalists. You can’t be on the left and be a capitalist, so leftists had many more disagreements with Kamala than Palestine.

Now, if you want to look at a great analysis of fascism and the false dichotomy in American politics, read Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.

Again, Trump will absolutely be far worseby just greenlighting isreal.

The aim of a genocide is the same whether there’s someone with a blue tie approving it or a red tie approving it. Israel wants to displace or kill every Palestinian and break their culture and heritage.

That’s what genocide is. You can’t get worse than that, and that’s what’s happening.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

Maybe you can trade places with a Palestinian getting genocided right now and see how smug you are then.

Zionists are something else.

Nobody’s saying that the climate denier is better for the environment. We’re saying that Kamala, who “believes in science” would be a smokescreen, just like Biden was.

If your climate agenda is to give tax credits to install heat pumps and a ton of money to EV manufacturers, and to not actually tackle the biggest polluters in the country, you don’t have a serious climate plan. Also deeply unserious is slapping tariffs on China’s affordable and reliable solar panels and EVs.

The military is a huge polluter and greenhouse gas emitter. So are suburban neighborhoods and aviation. If you can’t tackle those by realigning foreign policy, infrastructure, and urban development, then you’re not going far enough.

This won’t be solved by giving a ton of money to private companies and hoping they find a profit motive. We’d need a vast expansion of state capacity at this point.

It’s a democracy controlled by people who don’t care about regular working people. It was designed by rich white dudes and slaveowners 250 years ago to protect and increase their wealth.

Your institutions have failed you. Americans need to demand better and throw off the chains that the wealthy have put on them.
