Biden passed the inflation reduction act, which included massive subsidies for renewable energy.

Trump revoked permission for an offshore windfarm that was 90% complete as retaliation against Denmark for not selling Greenland.

    Massive subsidies for billionaires to make renewable electricity? As the video points out renewables are proven to be cheaper than fossil fuel energy. There is no need to subsidize a competitive product. All biden did was steal money that belonged to the taxpayers and give it to his friends that were building renewables. That is not a win.

    Trump canceled a wind farm as pressure for imperialist expansion with no regard for the effects of climate change. Biden used climate change as cover to steal money for his friends. They both suck.

    They both covered in the blood of children. THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS YOU DON"T HAVE TO SUPPORT MURDERERS AND THIEVES. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not get this?

    Oh shut up.

    Putting aside whether your conspiracy theories are even true or not, more money for renewables is better than axing wind farms to pave the way for coal. Have you ever considered that maybe if Biden has friends who make money off renewable then maybe he has a vested interest in renewables succeeding. Meanwhile Trump is taking the money from renewables and setting it on fire just to "spite the libs".

    It's abundantly clear that one president has the economic common sense to invest in renewable electricity, the other has the economic common sense of bloody Erdogan.

    "I refuse to try anything other than what I have already tried over and over even though it didn't work" "I don't care about brown kids being murdered I just want green energy."

    Oh sure, if you refuse to vote enough times this mystical communist revolution will come about. And in the meantime I'm sure the climate will be fine. We're all prepared to sacrifice a few million children to climate change if it means we can send Democrats a message that "bombing children is bad".

    Actions have consequences. You can just have dead children from war, or you can have dead children from war and from climate change (and from the climate change wars too).

    I get you're emotional, everyone is. But cutting off your nose to spite your face won't solve anything.

    If you want a better climate there's a fucking Green Party. You don't have to vote for the second worst party. It's not about sending a message it is about not manufacturing consent for the duopoly. By voting for the democrats you are telling them you approve of genocide and that the tiny bit better climate policy is good enough.

    The democrats are all still heavily invested in fossil fuels. The democrats don't give a fuck about climate change and are actively genocidal. They do the bare minimum on climate issues and idiots like you eat it up.

    We're long past the time of consent being manufactured or not. Abstaining in 2026 is an endorsement of Trump.

    The Inflation Reduction Act made America relatively good internationally on climate change. It would have been better if they didn't need the vote of Joe Manchin (a coal mine owner and Democratic senator from a deep red state).

    No it is not. That is a lie. Do you love to eat shit because you didn't say you love drinking piss? Again independents and 3rd party candidates exist. You don't have to drink piss to prove you don't like to eat shit.

    The Inflation Reduction Act made America relatively good internationally on climate change.

    No it did not. It didn't even bring america in line with the commitments it had already made. Kill the democrat in your brain they are genocidal monsters who don't give a fuck about you.

    I said "abstaining", not "voting third party". The fact is that while in 2024 staying home was an expression of antipathy towards the Democrats, in 2026 staying home will be interpreted as an endorsement of Trump. Voting third-party will send a message though, so feel free to do that.

    I'm starting to feel like communicating with you is a waste of the time. It seems like you consider acknowledging that "the Democrats are better than Republicans" is objectively evil. If there is absolutely nothing you can feel you can give the Democrats credit for, then it's ideology and not reality that's dictating your beliefs.

    I'm starting to think that all you want is for the children in gaza to be murdered and ice to deport more people but you keep claiming that the tiny bit better that the democrats are on climate issues is why you want to vote for them.

    Again, you're treating me as evil because I acknowledge the Democrats are slightly better.

    No, you are and idiot because you are justifying evil by saying someone else is a tiny bit more evil. Just because hitler's concentration camps killed 17 million people doesn't mean that John Wayne Gacy was a good person.

    The evil that the republicans do has no bearing on the fact that the democrats are genocidal racist thieves who actively work to make the rich richer and the poor poorer in america and use military force, threats and manipulation to extort Africa, Asia and South America.

    Just because W bush started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan doesn't mean that obomber is justified in drone striking weddings. They are all evil people and voting for them is justifying their continuation of evil regardless of what the other party does.

    That's a lot of words to say that you think I am evil because I acknowledge the Democrats are slightly better.
