i get downvoted here when i mention stuff like this
biden is right wing
The entire US political spectrum is right wing by international standards.
He is. But Trump and the other Republicans are fascists and even further right wing.
Biden committing genocide isn’t fascist for you?
Trump literally wants genocide.
Biden literally does genocide.
Really, he is personally wiping out a race of people? Not bad for a guy y’all claim is senile.
Listen, Biden sucks, but the alternative is SO MUCH worse.
Do you think Adolf Hitler personally gassed 6 million Jews? You do realize that committing genocide is about policy not killing everyone with your own hands right?
Biden calling himself a Zionist, providing israel with all the bombs to kill Palestinians with, cover them with three aircraft carriers against retaliation, intercepting missles towards israel and defending their ships against attacks in the Red Sea so they can continue their genocide means Genocide Joe is more responsible for enabling this genocide than even Netanyahu
And …. Godwin’s Law for the win.
You kept dancing around the point, but you finally committed and were able to bring up Hitler in what seems to be 4 moves during a conversation about oil.
Well done.
Do you think Biden is ordering the killing of Palestinians the same as Hitler ordered the extermination of Jews? Ridiculous. You are a complete moron if you draw any remote equivalence to Hitler.
Biden has pushed to reduce civilian deaths and has forced Israel to address the humanitarian do a greater degree than they otherwise would.
Mark my words, Trump would be far, far worse for Gaza.
Same. I was also banned from the climate sub for disagreeing that humanity is good for the planet lol.

Wrong.
For years I’ve been saying it but his pussy supporters are terrified of the truth and would rather sweep his voting record under the rug than face it.
Wouldn’t change anything to admit Biden isn’t the progressive we wish he was other than the party might have to act.
Seems like Trump isn’t the only person with a selectively blind cult judging by the down votes and angry replies. Any opinion that we should be able to do better than Biden around Lemmy gets flamed way too hard to be reasonable.
Or maybe most people are fucking smart enough to understand Trump is worse?
Not even what I’m saying.
Between his border policy, his climate policy, and his foreign policy he’s really fulfilling his campaign promise!
“Nothing will fundamentally change.”
The Bidenomics of blowing up Nord Stream and selling CNG to Europe at extortionate prices.
And ethnically cleansing Gaza for the natural gas reserves
Unfortunately we proved just before the midterms that there’s a very linear inverse correlation between gas prices and perceived job performance. Refilling the strategic petroleum reserve is electorally smart. Until activists can detach these electoral relaities nothing will change for anyone.
That’s still a bad reason to increase the speed at which we’re killing ourselves.
It’s a great reason until there’s an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.
Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices’ impact on the working class.
You want to change it? Let’s change it. Starting with activists.

Which leftists are these? I’ve yet to run into them.

I still haven’t been able to decipher what kinds of activists you’re alluding to.
Progressive liberals I guess? The Hill, Mar. ’22: Gas prices lead to tensions within Democratic Party
Progressives are concerned that high gas prices are worsening inequalities, creating tension between activists who want Democrats to do more to condemn big oil and those trying to navigate Russia’s deadly invasion of Ukraine.
We are out of time.
that’s not an answer. sure go ahead and kill oil production, make gas prices high and give trump the presidency again. see how that works out for the environment.
I mean. It’s the only answer. You cant see the dominos start to fall like they have this year and decide “let’s pump more oil and maybe some Conservatives will vote for me over trump”. It’s too late and it was too late 10 years ago. This isn’t just a US problem. This is global societal breakdown in the next 10 - 20 years.

of course you can. the demand for oil/gas will be there regardless, people aren’t all going to stop driving ICE cars just because Biden cut all US oil production. it’s political suicide, not just for Biden but for US environmental policy in general.
So on we March to our doom.

not when the opposition would increase the speed even more.
Cmon guys you’re both pretty, lets accept that were doomed and vote Big Asteroid 2024
Really though vote now for the chance to vote again, not that it fucking matters because we’re 40 years late to taking any corrective action, but I’d like to vote again
So business as usual. We were doomed 20 years ago, when we could have had a fighting chance.
not exactly business as usual. Biden is doing more than most presidents have. Not enough, but also not nothing. But the fact is not enough will ever be done until public opinion drastically changes.
Biden signed off on a record number of new oil projects, it’s not business as usual, it’s business is accelerating as usual. Environment be dammed
there’s more to the topic than oil which is a necessary evil for the time being. or would you rather be beholden to OPEC and the Middle East?
but sure, let’s go ahead and ignore everything else.
Right. Kill ourselves slowly.
Weird how the only viable electoral strategy is indistinguishable from the status quo of making the rich richer at the expense of the poor.
Until activists can detach these electoral relaities
Which form of jargon is this and what does it mean in English? Is this polisci-speak of some sort? Who is an “activist” in this context, and what would they be detaching from what, and how?
clearly they mean environmental activists. and the “detachment” is accepting that low gas prices is key to getting elected over a republican who would be even worse than Biden for the environment.
Interesting graphs to put it into perspective internationally

Truly the most climate-friendly US President
You think Mr “windmills cause cancer” Trump would be better?
Have you bothered to look at the Inflation Reduction Act, which is much more a climate bill than anything?
And Trump is SURE to cut oul production! “Drill baby drill”. Geez
