So even if it doesn't accomplish that specific goal, it can still cause economic damage and reduce the ability of ordinary people to afford/use their cars.
That's how the left does it. The activists push hard for something extreme and bitch when they only get half. And in the meantime, our lives have been degraded by their actions. Even if Xeno's paradox says we never quite get there, the damage and impact can still be massive, especially when you look at the aggregate impact across a broad swathe of issues.
This reminds me of a debate I had with a liberal over the green new deal. He insisted that there is no way that it would pass into law so why would I worry about it?
I told him it may not pass into law, but that doesn’t mean that aspects of it couldn’t be maneuvered into regulations by government agencies
