Days of negotiations at the G7 leaders summit in Cornwall failed to set an end-date for coal after the U.S. and Japan blocked a deal.
But the Biden administration — fixated on cultivating the Democrats’ razor-thin Senate majority and the coal mining sympathies of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin — was wary of any language specifically clamping down on coal.
Imagine being so stupid you believe this pathetic admin's ongoing excuses for doing nothing progressive lmao.
Yeah we'd love to save humanity or whatever, but you see this one guy we could definitely whip and isn't just an on-call scapegoat said no, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯
He didn't even say no lmao. They just avoided coal-related language, the excuse being him existing apparently
Biden to all the environmental advisors and heads of state of major nations: "Sorry Jack but the other Joe Biden Manchin needs some votes!"
If I wrote a script where an evil senator named Joe Mansion took control of the world's political sphere on behalf of the energy industry, my editor wouldn't even read the whole thing
does nothing
"welps, we've done everything and exhausted our options. Might as well die"
What a very :liberalism: move.
I once read a lib post about how all the Bernie Bros who criticize Obama for not getting anything done during his first term probably don't even know who Joe Lieberman is. This shit really works on them. They buy it hook, line, and sinker.
Yes, that's the really funny thing. Trump was apparently more powerful than God himself (working with a slim majority in the Senate), but 'master negotiator' Biden can't do shit with majorities in both House and Senate?
:bean-think:
Almost like Joe doesn't reaaaalllly want to change things...
