    This feels like marketing by an evil group only posing to be for the climate, shaming Biden when the alternative president would have been far worse. It would instead be more helpful if they marketed for a ranked choice voting system so that the US had a greater chance of breaking free from its obstructive two-party system.

      This is a year before the next presidential election. It’s important to be critical of lesser evils, to force them to work for you. Specifically, this week at APEC, Biden will likely make economic decisions that could cause decades of damage, exploiting oil and labor reserves in Asian countries. Now is the time to call him out and the system as a whole.

    And yet Biden has enacted the most pro-climate policies out of any president… Messages like this only serve to worsen the climate crisis.

      Yeah this kind of looks like propaganda to suppress left leaning voters.

        The campaign for US President started in earnest 4 months ago. This ad implies that his opponent- the Republican nominee to be named later - is a far more environmentally sound choice. We don’t have ranked choice so there are no other viable candidates. Voting off ticket (for either side) is a 1/2 vote for the candidate you like less.

        This is like telling your parents you hate apples, hoping to get chocolate cake, when the only two things you’ll be offered for dessert are apples and Brussels sprouts.

    “Free trade” is too costly. It extracts fossil fuels and ships it overseas. Union jobs go the other direction, draining into sweatshops. US citizens, tell Biden no exploitation of Asian land and labor. #
