  When choice 1 is kill me slowly (maybe suggest slowing down oil emissions but not actually enforce it), and choice 2 is kill me quickly (lets sell Alaska to Exxon), what is the correct choice?

  I would honestly prefer choice 3 which is stop fucking trying to kill me.

    Choice 3 is just choice 2 with a fake mustache.

    Should I commend the D team for not being quite as bad as R?

    Yes.

    Jesus man, I just want to have options that aren’t two different versions of wrong.

    Sucks, welcome to being an adult.

    and yet no one gives any examples of ACTUAL progress

    It’s pointless because every time we do you just throw out a red herring. Or start screaming that doing something to fix the problem is somehow worse than making the problem worse. Or you just go quiet.

    Let’s try. Biden has forgiven $153 billion in student loans that would not be forgiven under the GOP. That is progress.

    Commence with the mental gymnastics.

      Debt forgiveness is a decent step… Again unless educating your populace is as high a priority as it should be, in which case higher education would be freely available to any who wanted it. That’s not a moving goalpost, that’s simply how it always should have been.

      Under that, there simply is no student debt. Also, worth noting that debt forgiveness doesn’t actually fix the problem, it just gets people to shut up and go away, so yes I am still screaming for good and free public education for the public good.

        There it is. No progress is good enough. Ever.

        Fuck you and your “biden bad” propaganda.
