This action is a huge blow to the tar sands overall, and if the other pipeline gets too many set backs the tar sands might actually fold from lack of investment.

I had literally zero hopes for Biden, and this is already a net good. Consider me surprised.

      "This is an acceptable amount of progress" would do that. "This is a fraction of the bare minimum and we must do better" does not.

        Liberals do not learn. They do not care about your opinions. Reinforcing a LIE which is what "this is an acceptable amount of progress" would not be a good thing. We do not reinforce delusions and lies created and perpetuated for the benefit of the Amerikkkan empire and the profits of its bourgeoisie. The Democratic party is not run based on what you or the base wants. It is run based on what capital wants as it is part of a dictatorship of that capital. It shapes and decides what its voters will think and until they are broken out of this paradigm it is hopeless.

          Most people here used to be libs. They absolutely can learn, and we have to figure out how to get them to learn en masse if we want to get anything done.

          More than commentary, I think it is important to have active left projects which people are engaged with on a daily basis and which make their lives better/more interesting. That’s how you draw people in, not by talking about the democratic party. but, i think you would probably agree with that.

          Totally agreed, yes. If you can get people involved in left projects, that's huge.

          But libs love to talk politics, and it's easier to indulge that than it is to get them to show up at some project. So while working on getting them to help with a project, it's good to have conversation strategies to pull them left.
