If you live in a swing state and are thinking about placing an anti-Biden protest vote, please remember that 90,000 people in Florida voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. Al “An Inconvenient Truth” Gore would have been President back when we could do something meaningful about climate change.
Please don’t do it again.
And since I live in a staunchly blue state I will continue voting third party out of principle!
After the fuel shortages in the 70s, America said Never Again. Never Again will another country be able to bring America to its knees.
Then 2022 happened and Russia rug pulled Germany and Eastern Europe, told them they would freeze over winter if they they didn't let Russia get their way and conquer their neighbors. Germany and Eastern Europe said no; they said no and they bought their products from where they could, and the primary choices for bulk sourcing were the Middle East and America. One of those choices is not good if you are worried about rug pulls, so here we are.
Looks like somebody is in need of a bit of democracy, eh?
Watch what we actually do and not what we say. We are producing the most oil. We are driving the burning of the rain forests. America is the problem while we try to blame everyone else.
Wait what. More than Middle Eastern countries??
You may be as surprised as I was to learn that the US has always been in the top 2 or 3 countries for oil production
Canada as well, right?
I belive they're typically the biggest exporters of oil. We tend to get high off of our own supply.
Interesting. I was assured by my very conservative relatives that the oil industry would die if Biden gets re-elected. I'm sure they are totally giving him credit for this. I know I am but not in a positive way.
Republicans are ignorant to this fact but are ready to credit trump with this accomplishment.
Because they will credit Trump with everything they like and Biden with everything they don't. Facts do not matter to these people and pretend like they do is how you alienate a base and lose elections. No amount of oil production is going to make a Trumper vote Biden, but it will discourage those who bought the 'most climate friendly president' line. It's a lose lose situation that no one wants to reckon with because of the profits the energy sector brings in.
Thanks Obiden
How are your gas prices these days?
I know when they were high (and the rest of the world) a few years back, republicans demanded more oil or something and were kicking off about Biden as usual. So what do they say now?
They vary heavily by region. They're fine in the northeast floating around $3/gal
Obviously that's not a product of Biden, it's from the free market etc etc
America number 1 y'all, yeah.

I remember hearing T. Boone Pickens always wish for this.
