    Probably has something to do with Biden eases fossil fuel regulations so he could break Trump’s fossil fuel production records and claim the economy recovered…

    If the government tells them to increase production, they’re gonna fucking do it.

    Same way the only way they’d slow down is if the government makes them.

    They’re going to want to make all the money they can as fast as they can. That’s how capitalism works.

    That’s not a good plan either, but just like we don’t have a candidate that wants to ban fracking, we do t have a candidate that wants to move away from unregulated capitalism either.

      We have candidates that support both of those positions, but if you suggest voting for them you’re super Hitler or voting to bring in super Hitler according to the pro unregulated capitalism crowd.

        We really don’t…

        There’s Jill Stein, and if she lies about being a Russian puppet, it’s absolutely illogical to believe anything she says. So I give zero ducks about what she says she’d hypothetically do.

        Then there’s Cornell West who got run out of the People’s party.

        Neither are viable. Like, literally, they’re not on enough ballots to win, so voting for either is effectively leaving it blank.

          Thank you for proving my point. You don’t want change from the status quo, you just want to complain.

            I do want to fix shit…

            But there is literally no way for anyone beside trump or Harris to get enough votes in enough states to be the president this election…

            You get that right? There is literally a zero percent chance someone besides those two win the election.

            So if you want to fix shit, literally the only path forward is hoping we can pull Harris back to at least the center, but ideally so far that she’s on the left.

            If you know anyone else that has a path to the White House I haven’t thought of yet, feel free to share.
