      Lemmy.ml is not without its share of LIB users, not to mention visitors from the rest of the lemmyverse.
      Wear your fake internet demerits as a badge of honor: they suggest you’re not being tailist.

      Trump would be unstoppable if he switched colors and got the Blue No Matter Who voters on his side.

      For now, their empty partisan bickering allows everyone else a little breathing room.

        Even by US standards if we go back a few decades. HW negotiated a ceasefire in Israel, and sectors both sides spent time and money trying to dismantle the nuclear arsenal. Biden is “modernizing” it. He’s genuinely to the right of the Republican Party just a couple decades ago in many ways.

      He is. But Trump and the other Republicans are fascists and even further right wing.

          It’s fascism to follow the constitution?

          And as far as I know, only one Republican has an issue with the 14th amendment. No one is stopping Haley, Christie, DeSantis, or even Ramaswamy from qualifying.

              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

      He might be right wing from a global perspective, but I’m still gonna vote for him instead of whoever has the R label. I wish we had cooler viable options, but “lesser of two evils” reigns supreme.

    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.

        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.

            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.

    Between his border policy, his climate policy, and his foreign policy he’s really fulfilling his campaign promise!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline nationwide has dropped to close to $3, and analysts project it could stay that way leading up to the presidential election, potentially assuaging the economic anxieties of swing state voters who will be crucial to Biden’s hopes of a second term.

    While Biden’s White House has publicly celebrated the decline in gas prices and pledged to help consumers struggling with inflation, the president has largely stayed mum about the oil industry’s record output.

    The White House has also largely stayed mum on the oil production boom, instead touting Biden’s legislative record as the most ambitious effort to combat climate change in history and contrasting his stance with that of Trump and other deniers.

    The statement praised Biden for protecting more than 21 million acres of public lands and waters and boosting clean energy manufacturing by invoking the Defense Production Act and facilitating private sector investments.

    Climate activists say base voters are frustrated by the softening of the president’s stance against fossil fuels, and mobilizing them will prove difficult despite the historic investment the administration is making in green power and accelerating the energy transition.

    Climate-conscious voters were particularly dismayed by the administration’s approval of the Willow project, which will allow hundreds of miles of roads and pipelines, airstrips, a gravel mine, and a major new processing facility in the middle of pristine Arctic tundra and wetland.
