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.
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.
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
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.
That’s still a bad reason to increase the speed at which we’re killing ourselves.

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.

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.
We’re not killing ourselves
We most assuredly are.
