I dunno, for me this is more about the candidate that wants to stop the world from burning vs the one that’s actively wants the world to burn for profit.
The one who follows the science versus the one who lets millions of people die because it might hurt his political image to acknowledge that he is incompetent.
Too bad biden wants to expand the oil industry and refuses to step down then. It’d very be cool if one of the two big candidates wasn’t straight evil rather than one who’s guilty of less evil, you should tell Biden to let an actually viable candidate run instead
!nonvoters@lemmy.blahaj.zone is leaking
? He killed the
nordKeystone XL pipeline and revoked several permits for operating oil refineries and oil wells. He has done the most work towards curbing climate change of any president in US history. Are you trolling, misinformed, or a tankie?Edit:looked at your post history, you are all three. Congrats, you should run for third party. I hear brain worms are in right now.
I love when liberals tell blatant, easily disproven lies to pretend Biden isn’t a huge piece of shit. Have fun voting for your hair sniffing genocide boi :3
Lmao, it is a fact that I made an error. You could’ve pointed it out, but you didn’t even realize I made an error. You are completely and wholly misinformed. You have no idea what you are talking about.
It’s funny that you literally can’t debate anything I said because there was nothing there to debate. I posted facts. Enjoy your fiction. Have fun voting for Xi Poohbear though, hope that works out for you.
The only informed thing you posted was that the IDF is shit. You must’ve made a mistake, I can’t imagine you’d intentionally post something factual.

Oof, add on illiterate. Thats an article that’s criticizing bidens policies. Because it’s written by someone like you. Too uneducated for their own good, and actively malicious, to boot. Would you like me to read it for you?
to pretend Biden isn’t a huge piece of shit
I don’t think anybody here is pretending he isn’t less than ideal, tbqh. We’re comparing two stooges and one of them is clearly not a fascist or orange. If you’re gonna accuse others of lying, the least you can do is be accurate and honest with your own speech.

asked chat gpt to make a post claiming he’s not a piece of shit
I did? Or did I simply ask it to compile a list of policies from the web that were pro and against climate change efforts? Because it seems rather impartial about it overall. Or is there a specific aspect of it that bothers you besides Biden doing progressive things that you randomly label as liberal?
Or are you just unaware of how…
I’m unaware of whatever bullshit you’re on about. You have a huge list to debunk now but all I see is you deflecting and making shit up.
You either debunk it or you accept that you’re talking out your ass. You choose.
Watching tankies call people liberals is the most ironic shit I’ve ever seen. It’s like watching Captain Hook call someone a criminal.

Just because I find your comments quite irksome, I took the liberty of compiling a list with the help of my friend ChatGPT and then reviewed them by hand:

-
Paused Natural Gas Exports (Ongoing): Paused the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-hits-pause-approvals-liquified-natural-gas-exports-rcna135831 But was later reversed by a judge to allow them, potentially increasing global greenhouse gas emissions: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/climate/federal-judge-biden-gas-exports.html
Actions by Biden that may have worsened environmental disasters:
-
Continued Fossil Fuel Leasing (2021-2022): Despite climate pledges, the Biden administration approved new oil and gas drilling leases on public lands and waters, raising concerns about increased emissions and environmental degradation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/09/29/biden-offshore-oil-drilling-climate/
-

So as we can see, Biden has taken a few progressive actions for the environment. I don’t recall Clinton, Bush, Obama, or much less Trump ever having such a streak but I admit I haven’t looked much into it. However, the facts here speak for themselves.
Edit: Moved the LNG one to the top section since Biden did pause the greenhouse gas exports but a judge reversed the decision later, so it wasn’t an action by Joe directly although his intention was in line with his previous work.
It wasn’t important enough for you to write, or even to find a list someone else made, of which I know at least one that goes around on lemmy sometimes. Why would i check a list so clearly unimportant to you?
What’s so wrong about making another one, editing and manually adding sources? What part of that makes it not important to spend closer to 30-40 min on it? And what if I didn’t know another list exists? What if I’d rather make my own so you don’t have the bullshit excuse to dismiss it. Because now you got two lists to contend with.
And is it me who doesn’t care or are you projecting? Because it sounds like a copout from you.
Like I said, you’re irksome and I don’t mind doing it for that sole reason alone.

asking a chatbot to do it for you
It’s the future, friend. I’m not about to spend 3 hours of my precious time on something like this just so you can dismiss it in three seconds and strut on the board like a mindless pigeon.
it’s not important enough for me to read
And that’s great! I added the sources manually, so you can at least read those. The summaries were for your convenience but I guess you don’t like such commodities.
I would genuinely love to hear
You would genuinely not read it, so why bother. You got like 15 decent things he’s done right here that you won’t even glance over because you seem a little intimidated by it.
unless his administration actually upholds those standards, which they won’t
On their own volition or does obstructionism count?
Biden’s got my vote by a hair rn
I frankly don’t give a rat’s ass what you got by a hair.
If you wanna show me some of that without the help of your friend, I’d legit love to see it
No, you don’t. You’d just love to give someone a fool’s errand and laugh about it later.

you know you’re lying. You know i know you’re lying
Is he lying, though? Or is that just some talking point? I frankly find it quite irritating when people accuse me of a lie that may be ignorance, exaggeration, or whatever. I don’t know how @Sucubus feels about this but we all deserve more accurate insults than these cheap shots.
