Out with the Old Joe, In with the New Kamala
tp4tissue:
Power structures, are about keeping people in line.
It has nothing to do with fairness or morality.
In that way, all power structures are identical, and have comparable failings.
It will always get this bad, and it will always get worse, before revolution kills the existing rot at the top and we get a slightly less corrupt new state. At this point in the timeline, democrats and republicans are identical people farmers. They are both far right parties.
The trouble is, most of us plebs will drown in the fallout.

Ugh, why did Kamala water down her campaign so much? It didn't even achieve the intended result, she only lost popularity.

Capitalism is why, it doesn't matter who you vote for, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. It's all going to sh....
15-30 years, there's a high probability of Cataclysmic Undoing.
Biden inherited Bernie Sander's environmental policy package, watered it down to nothing, and both candidates have agreed to carry on as usual, More fossil fuels, More military spending, Guarantees for the growth of capitalism, 0 effective climate commitment, rollback on AI environmental policies, EVERY damn thing subsidized with TAX PAYER money.
The democrats NEVER INTENDED to follow through. They are owned in whole by the multinationals just as the republicans are. These are puppets. They're both far right parties. That's the nature of corporations, to protect the oligarchy.
Bernie Sanders was our last chance to save the planet and have a future. And Fohat's generation blew it.
Not Fohat though, no one's blaming fohat, we're reasonably sure he's woke at this point.
The only possible effective policy going forward is eating-Vegetables. This might buy us some time. There is no other known solution to climate change.
Animal agriculture is the most destructive, most bigoted, most evil act humanity has ever committed.

Findecanor:
The theory of the greenhouse effect was published even earlier, by the Swedish physicist/chemist Svante Arrhenius in 1896.
My alma mater has a road and a building named after him, and the building does (of course) house the department of environmental science.
