They have a reasonably positive policy, they just are as usual terrible at explaining activity. The Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act had quite a bit of green incentives for regular people, and it created pretty large solar and non-fossil-fuel home improvements that did (in my area at least) translate to a lot of green tech being installed. The GOP and Trump especially are irrationally hostile to green tech, and there are plenty of examples why they’re materially worse - paying again just to cancel an already-paid-for wind farm project for example. So this isn’t really a “both sides suck” problem. One side has a slightly positive policy that could be a lot better. One side is in a psychotic delusional fugue and actively trying to destroy the planet.

Maybe if people championed the good Democrats instead of spreading bullshit meant to encourage not voting and votes for Russian assets, Democrats would start getting better overall. Nah we should probably just go full tankie on this shit and pretend to be surprised when that doesn’t help anything.

They were terrible but I’d take a C- over the current F just saying. Not voting won’t make them care more about climate, hearing it in primaries from engaged voting populace is what dictates policy. It’s why boomers had so much sway because they know they’ll vote.
