It's a great reason until there's an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.

Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices' impact on the working class.

You want to change it? Let's change it. Starting with activists.

that's not an answer. sure go ahead and kill oil production, make gas prices high and give trump the presidency again. see how that works out for the environment.

I mean. It's the only answer. You cant see the dominos start to fall like they have this year and decide "let's pump more oil and maybe some Conservatives will vote for me over trump". It's too late and it was too late 10 years ago. This isn't just a US problem. This is global societal breakdown in the next 10 - 20 years.
