He announced new conservation efforts, including $50 million for the Amazon Fund, and declared Nov. 17 as International Conservation Day.
Biden urged leaders to prioritize both environmental protection and economic growth, leaving a climate-focused legacy amid concerns over President-elect Trump’s rollback plans.
Yup, history is watching us completely drop the ball here. History is watching Joe Biden fail to rise to the occasion of addressing the onslaught of US fascism. The environment, peace, wealth, and our very freedoms are now in dire peril.
How did he fail to rise to the occasion?
This is a fair question. The people voted for fascism. What’s he supposed to do, stage a coup to try and overturn the election results?
He wanted to, and thought he could rise to the occasion but old age got to him.
Right, almost any legislation he tried to pass was blocked by Congress because of Manchin and Sinema.
If we blame/punish politicians for trying then why would they keep trying?
Manchin and Sinema were enacting the will of party leadership.
By voting against the party? That doesn’t make any sense
Oh you naive summer child.
Your non answer is telling
Biden fit nicely into the status quo Democrat role, which was never going to help anything against the Republican fucks who give more shits about their power than serving the country. Do let me know if I need to spell out any other obvious realities to you - and your daft upvoters.
You still haven’t answered the question. You just said he fit into the role.
That is the answer. Another status quo democrat was not what we needed, and that was plainly obvious when Biden took office.
