In response to "some of this is Dems fault for not “messaging” but a lot of it seems to just be voters don’t give a shit about actual policies, just vibes -- (link)" by hollywood big shot

I think it's more that the main benefit of the policy - cheaper EVs that Americans want to drive - has not yet been realised. -- nm

That's not the only objective or result of the policy. It's also created tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. -- nm - pmb Jul 18, 14:16 7
- Those jobs don't exist yet either. 121 projects and only 13 are in full operation. 94 are in the planning or construction phase. -- nm* - Roger More Jul 18, 14:23 6
  - Fair enough, but my point is that the policy is bigger than just EV's. -- nm - pmb Jul 18, 14:31 5
    - Yes, I understand. But I'd also weigh the jobs that will be created against the ones in the supply chain that will disappear in the transition to EVs - Roger More Jul 18, 14:40 4
      - Maybe not new jobs, however, this money and potentially saving jobs in planning, construction, etc. -- nm - VMan Jul 18, 14:44 3
        
        I’m not arguing the policy or its benefits, just why it’s not having a positive impact on votes. -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 15:08 1

        As for oil industry, it will be an English Patient. Long boring death. Hopefully, some Colecos come out of it all. -- nm - VMan Jul 18, 14:50
