Environmental advocates understand the announcement as a reversal, calling it “absolutely devastating.”
The Biden administration has backtracked from supporting a cap on plastic production as part of the United Nations’ global plastics treaty.
This represents a reversal of what the same groups were told at a similar briefing held in August, when Biden administration representatives raised hopes that the U.S. would join countries like Norway, Peru, and the United Kingdom in supporting limits on plastic production.
Nearly 70 countries, along with scientists and environmental groups, support the latter. They say it’s futile to mop up plastic litter while more and more of it keeps getting made.
Hey, as a non American, fuck your country, fuck the idiots leading it, and fuck every eligible voter for what the rest of us are about to endure as a result of your staggering, unbelievable ineptitude.
Damn, we (Americans) don’t even have 1 person 1 vote… But I agree with the sentiment.
As an eligible US voter can you tell me what you would have done differently in my position?
Well, the obvious first thing is not voting for fascists. The other thing is pushing for real democracy, idk maybe do another civil rights movement.
Well I voted for Harris and am pushing for another civil rights movement, as I don’t trust the Democrats to really care about the material conditions of working-class people (domestically and worldwide) without left organizing and left political opposition.
I guess I’m just saying please don’t say fuck all voters. Because that includes me and I am trying, as are others. And shaming people isn’t a great motivator.
I personally don’t think “Fuck all voters” and recognize that it’s difficult. Generalizing won’t help but it’s also a fact that almost half of reliable voters in the USA just voted for the fascists
I always thought it was ridiculous that the Democratic Party named itself that. Surely, in a democracy, that’s like calling your party “party”. Well no more, they really are the democratic party now.
Will get right on that chief.
