Yo Biden just announced an infrastructure devolopment/clean energy/environmental justice plan and it's honesty pretty fucking amazing and much more ambitious than I ever would have expected from him, goddamn. He's trying to Eisenhower/New Deal our way out of the economic collapse.
Some notable points addressed by this plan:
- Expanding American railway systems
- Fixing the crumbling roads, bridges, dams, etc. that haven't been kept up
- Capping abandoned oil wells
- Undoing Trump's financial bailout policies for unclean energy companies
- Reinvesting in American-made automotive companies
- Getting America to 100% clean energy by 2035
- Fixing air, water, and ground pollution issues that disproportionately affect poc
- Getting justice for victims of environmental racism
- Reinstating a bunch of environmental and medical jobs Trump had cut
- Getting the US back on the Paris Agreement/Climate Accord

For those who were wondering what the point of voting for a leftist candidate was, if the leftist didn’t win—this is it. Biden is trending leftward. That’s what we want him to do. He wouldn’t be doing it if the left hadn’t shown itself to be a real force.
I know that the work is never done and all that, but I think we can count this one as a win.
please god vote. register ASAP. check to make sure you’re still registered because they’re kicking people off. look into your states mail in ballot laws
I don’t like the guy, and I doubt if most of this would actually get done, but please, it’s better than the guy actively dismantling anything good we have and pushing us backwards
even if you’re in a state that swings dem and you think your vote doesn’t matter, it does. the popular vote tally means something even if the system is broken. Hillary got millions more votes and that was the voice of the people. vote even just to add to the tally of people against Trump because you know the numbers will hurt his vanity
