I think we can use this to put the nail in the coffin of arguments about stalling or harm reduction. I think even people who find that convincing as a concept would have to concede that they've ridden that horse as far as it can carry them. It seems self evident that this is not a working strategy at this point.
So if you're talking to a progressive/lib ask them what their plan was once they stalled as long as they could. Because they have.
