No, seriously. Have any of y’all read this shit? I can feel my brain leaking out of my ears, I don’t even know where to start. To say that this is some bullshit is such an understatement. In fact, I’m getting so fucking angry even thinking about how insanely bad this shit is, I just keep typing about it while not explaining anything or adding anything meaningful to the discussion. So here, if you want to feel visceral rage, observe the immense amount of bullshit spewing out of this cursed fucking “environmentalism” page: https://joebiden.com/clean-energy/

I’m so sorry Jesus fucking Christ I’m going to blow my fucking brains out in minecraft

    I read all the candidate's policy pages back during the primary. It's nice sometimes to daydream about a world where considered analysis of policy platforms are how we make decisions.

    Biden's platform has always been particularly light on actually standing for or saying anything. Back during the primary he said "union jobs" a lot (Fun fact! This is literally the only good thing about Biden), but apparently that's grown to the point of self-parody now. Wow look at how many times he says union on this page. Also, I'd like to point out that every time Biden says "union job" it's in the context of someone you can imagine having to wash an oil stain out of their clothes. Like, those are the only jobs that can unionize I guess.

    I don't know if you got all the way to the actual policy portion of the page you linked, but his green energy plan involves creating new jobs in the US auto industry. So read that to die instantly I guess.

      If you really cared about union jobs, you would abolish the right to work and anti union laws Joe.

          Yeah, when I said "says union jobs" is the only good thing about Biden, I really meant it. Mentioning unions and implying they're good is a good thing. If he was going to actually do something about it then he might even get two whole good things.

      Also the word "union" does not instantly make something good, cops have unions, the AFL-CIO exists.

      All he's saying is "I'll make sure your manufacturing jobs have an optional union by giving tax credits to your employer!"
