Quit doing a victory lap hoping for Biden to fix it. He is no friend of environmentalists he is a neoliberal who is tanking his chances at relection to support a genocide.
He's the moderate compromise candidate, instead of the one who is out to tank the environment for spite. He's been doing a lot of the right things.
I'll go for that any day.
Vote for who you vote for. I'm in a hard blue state and I see zero reason to vote for Biden in the general. Those in swing states should vote for the democratic nominee that exists because to not do so helps Trump. In states where Biden is for sure going to win people should vote for someone else.
