And you have fucking Republicans who want to chastise companies with environmental friendly agendas because they’re losing profits for the shareholders. And some of you assholes are voting them into positions of power. https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2022/11/01/republicans-sustainable-investing-midterms-00064326

The current administration invited Exxon lobbyists to write the infrastructure legislation that congress passed.

Yeah democrats are “better”, but it’s still just running down the train tracks as opposed to republicans who deny there’s a train

If you vote for a republican / conservative / Tory whatever, you are a useful idiot.

If you are a republican / conservative/ Tory politician, you are traitor to humanity.

Apples and bananas. What I’m talking about is investing in clean energy futures what Biden is doing is alleviating price gouging on oil right now in the present.

There’s also the first hot war with a world superpower in Europe since WWII and OPEC is cutting production. It’s also a reserve so I don’t know what you think it’s use is supposed to be?

Isn't that like... what all politics are? Doing things so you get re-elected?

I mean, I know the GOP has convinced half the country that good politics is to beat you with a baseball bat, take the money from your wallet and give it to some billionaire, but this argument of "you're just buying votes by doing things that people need" has always confused the fuck out of me as missing the entire point.
