“It’s almost a cruel joke on the electorate that the longest presidential election potentially ever might also be the one that they’re least excited about,” said one Democratic pollster, speaking anonymously to candidly discuss the race.

    Yeah, but the point is that Biden is neither the cause nor culprit behind the record breaking, so why put it on him?

      I mean if you think the fossil fuel companies don’t have close ties to whatever administration is in power, I’ve got some bad news.

        Still missing the point. You’re trying to pin it on Biden as if the record-breaking thing is a direct consequence of Biden being Biden - and “Biden bad.”

        No. If Trump, Zombie Kennedy, Jesus Christ or even freaking Al Gore were in power right now, the “record breaking” thing would have still happened.

        to whatever administration is in power

        then by your own admission this is lost regardless of who’s in power and we need to look at where the candidates stand on other issues, such as Trump and the GOP being completely against renewable energy in any form and looking to defund the EPA

            oh I also think we need to riot but I remember what happened the last time I tried to have a riot all by myself and all of a sudden I’m “clearly intoxicated” and “under arrest” and “going for [the officer’s] gun”
