I know that these people are ontologically evil but a 9-0 vote is still a little mind-boggling.

    Biden is the president to elect if you want to address climate change! Don’t ask how! Just wait until he’s inaugurated in 2021.

    You don’t want trump to get elected. He’d do fracking, cause chemical spills by preventing rail-workers from striking, and allow the supreme court to overturn environmental protections instead of packing the courts!

    Jokes aside, don’t forget that the president has had the power to address a lot of the bad things that have been happening. This has been true back with Obama if he wanted to decriminalize marijuana, advocate for same sex marriage (one of his campaign promises in 2008), or not increase oil harvesting when we knew climate change was already a thing. Biden could protect abortion rights throughout the US, forgive student debt, make healthcare a right, and address climate change. All if he actually wanted to.

    His words and inaction from the beginning of his political career to now prove he doesn’t want to.
