Because then it must really, really pain you to know that US oil production has reached a record level under the Biden / Harris administration.
So we've established that you are perfectly okay with the genocide as long as the Democrats are in power, and you are perfectly okay with the US becoming an oil producing power house, even if you believe climate change is worse than genocide, as long as again, the Democrats are in power.
I mean the Republicans long to yell 'drill baby drill', but under the Democrats it actually happens.
That is quite the political perspective you have going on.

Amazing take. Just amazing. Take a bow.
Not only did you accuse me of saying things I didn't say, you've accused me of saying outright horrible things.
Since this is the road you're taking us down, I'd like to point out that you're perfectly ok with the planet turning into a barely-habitable hellscape if it means you get to keep making tons of money from the LNG industry. See how fun this is! I'm really glad we're putting words in each others' mouths!
Anyway...
No, I never said the situation in Gaza is ok. I said it's an inescapable reality regardless of whether the president has a D or an R next to their name. But the Democratic president will make things less bad than the alternative, while at the same time be far, far better on many other fronts, from women's rights to the environment to economic policy to preserving democracy.
And I also never said that fossil fuel energy production in the immediacy is a bad thing, in fact, it's absolutely essential to keep the economy going. But it MUST be counterbalanced with huge investments in green energy. That's what Biden-Harris administration has done in the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump won't put any money in green energy, and will do away with all environmental protections. If you still can't see the difference between one and the other, I don't know what to say to you.
