Thank god Biden is fighting against climate change. Republicans are rooting for more greenhouse emissions. That’s one of the only objectively cobsistent positions they have taken over the years.

Just so you all understand, high energy prices means poor Americans can't heat their homes and can't feed themselves, due to high cost of food, which needs to be farmed and delivered with equipment that works on fossil fuels.


So in the short-term, it means Democrats are stuck between raising the debt ceiling again to distribute aid to needy Americans, or losing at the polls. Badly.

I am all for sanctioning Russia to the extreme, nevertheless. The most important factor is for Europe to wean itself off Russian oil and gas. They made noises in that direction, but it has to be more forceful than that. Americans can help Europe find other sources of oil and gas.

Someone commented to me the other day the Democrats are now entirely the party of Tesla drivers and bus riders and very few in between.

The observation is general but there is truth to it. It would explain why the Democratic leadership in DC seem so tone deaf to inflation and the effects of higher gas prices at the pumps. I don't think we've had an administration that came off as so aloof and uncaring to the needs of everyday Americans. Telling people just to go out and buy EVs doesn't exactly help the image.

If you are so tuned into the daily affordability struggles of the poor then why don’t you support universal health care? Maybe you are just using the plight of poor people as a political tool?

Gas prices were spiking November 2021.
Biden had no plan back then.

That is kinda what happens when an economy rebounds. I guess you prefer recessions and shut downs.

Who is this thread for? Polling shows that Americans, including among Republicans, overwhelmingly support higher gas prices if it means damaging sanctions for Russia.

You oil lobbyists and pro-Putin lapdogs are only convincing yourselves. Not anyone else.

LOL, ask them again in a few months.
I am neither pro Putin nor pro oil, but gas prices are a holy cow for Americans and it will cost democrats many many seats

Gas prices are high because oil companies are using the pandemic and now Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to price gouge. Plain and simple.

I see the narrative by this White House of "Putins fault" is dutifully being carried by the complicit media. Too bad America is smart enough to know this isn't Putins fault and long has been this administration's goal of pushing the green narrative.

Biden is a real deal maker, not the sham of an art of the deal from before.

So you are saying gas would be going this high without Russia invading Ukraine cutting off their pipelines and then being sanctioned itself?

mmmmmokay.
