I mean there's a lot that could be done in one term that would help future infrastructure planning assuming it could actually make it through our totally broken congress, just gotta frame it as upgrading our decaying infrastructure and job creation. Once the ball gets rolling on something like that one would hope, anyone wanting to derail such efforts could be attacked for wanting to take away jobs. Hell could even make an argument for such an effort to be weakening national security. IDK, I already voted PSL but this is the sort of thing that his campaign could have been focusing on instead of just being Not Trump
assuming it could actually make it through our totally broken congress
An unsafe assumption to say the least, dems are gonna lose 2022 hard
just gotta frame it as upgrading our decaying infrastructure and job creation
The last time dems tried that, Republicans accused them of ignoring the "reality" that there aren't enough "shovel ready jobs", the dems then filled their pants with doo-doo and started crying on the ground, so nothing happened
The dems are conservatives, they believe in austerity and the financialization of the economy, infrastructure is an occasional trendy talking point, nothing more
Yeah it really does feel like they have no interest in actually winning power, they are entirely comfortable in being the minority toothless "opposition" party and coasting along on corporate donations while crushing any sort of populism even when it would help them.
The LA, Measure M was passed in 2016. This approved a ton of rail projects, some of which aren't scheduled to finish till 2040. I think it's possible. But projects going across countries and states do get more complex
Eh, the trains are probably gonna be trash and outdated long before 2040, but yes the only conceivable long term projects are happening at local and state levels, nationally it's never gonna happen, other than the pentagon with some $10 trillion dollar AFV powered by a Tesla engine that's specifically designed to run over civilians and then crash into a lake
no, we are america and obviously we need to one up china. 4 years nationwide highspeed rail. put a big american flag on the trains and get people jerking off to the idea of beating china at something good
2035? Is Biden planing on being president for 15 years?

You make a pretty good argument that they don't actually support it.
It's good to start long term projects
They're ideologically and politically incapable of even attempting to start long term projects
