Gas is more expensive under Biden. It doesn't really matter if it's his fault or not. It doesn't matter that it was cheaper under Trump who was a piece of shit. People just see higher gas prices and they're mad. Especially the people who don't know what a wojak is. Gas prices are demonstrably high and clearly hurting people. Yes, chuds take advantage of this and put stickers on gas pumps. But they're not stupid for thinking gas prices are higher under Biden. They are. Calling anyone who blames Biden for higher gas prices stupid isn't going to win them over. Especially with your online-exclusive meme.

If you're a real Democrat shill the better response would be to make Putin "I did that" stickers. But instead it's just go straight for the "If you don't like my guy you're actually brain damaged in a literal way."

    The only people being forced to use less energy are poor global North people that already use a fraction of the energy that the rich do. And they aren't going to adjust their behaviors

    So what you are saying is pain for poor global North people is overall good?

    Also the global North. You mean the west right? You mean europe and America exclusively right? Cuz around 90% of the world population lives in the northern hemisphere.

            If you have to explain it. It's not a good descriptor of what your are trying to convey. I just looked over it. And it includes all of Europe and russia. Many of those places are poor as shit also.

                1st and 3rd is racist and long abandoned

                Developed and undeveloped is not really much better.

                It's the west that had exploited the world.

                Anyways.

                But I'm glade you are defining which poor people you think are worth carying about.

                    High gas prices and reduced driving doesn't matter when a large war was started to create that less driving.

                    Its a net negative We have oil trading hands several times from russia to India to europe to get past sanctions. Upping the already ridiculous carbon foot print of that sector to new levels.

                    Wish i could share that optimism that Americans driving less will make a dent when you have a whole system being realigned and a large modern war going on involving the movement of large mechanized war machines that guzzle diesel and have no emissions. Along with all the carbon from the explosions.

                    I'm not one to get off on poor people suffering.
