This shows an enormous amount of ignorance over how the US works.

Because of gerrymandering, republicans own the House of Representatives, no legislation can pass from the legislative branch if the Congress and the House don’t agree.

The executive branch can not “just” make new legislation. It’s not part of its power or job.

You can’t blame Joe because Marjorie Taylor Greene and every so and so lunatic has decided to screw everyone else and shove their head into the ground.

This shows an enormous amount of ignorance of how federalism works. Nothing is stopping Californians from banning fossil fuels.

The chain is specifically about federal level. Nobody denies that things can be done at the state level.

> The US isn't capable of doing anything federally until the nation is reunified.

Man I would love to see us go 100% nuclear. Just slap 50 power plants down and we'd be done, 10 years, in-and-out. It'd only cost like 100 billion or so, basically free.

Not just the House. The Senate is de facto gerrymandered as well. Two senators for 700k in Wyoming vs 40M in California.
