To be clear: there’s a night-and-day difference between Biden and Trump, with the former having actually taking significant action, and being likely to take more if reelected. Trump will look to maximize both extraction and consumption of fossil fuels in a way that Biden simply didn’t and won’t.
At the end of the day, both candidates are content to make policy which does not stop the world from boiling. It is counterproductive to pretend otherwise.
Ah, another “they’re both the same” argument that ignores reality. Trump is no friend to the environment and is actively seeking to destroy it for profit. “Drill, baby, drill” is something he shouts all the time. At least Biden has done something and acknowledges climate change.
And it’s really fucked up that people act like they don’t see where this is headed.
The media doesn’t get free reign to sway public opinion however they feel by putting out manipulative coverage. These companies are owned by rich elites who want to control the narrative and put their preferred candidate on top. That’s not journalism, it’s propaganda.
