I think you've horribly misread what I said.

The chain is about Biden and his 4 years. People want the Dems to solve the whole literal problem in their term. In the case of Biden, it was 4 years. 2 years really when you consider he only had the House or Reps for 2 years.

Both parties? We all know the GOP isn't going to do shit. They will do the exact opposite, actually. So it's only Dems.

Past that I have no idea what point you're trying to make. US oil production is not US oil usage. It was the fracking boom that increased production. As for dips, then there was the 2008 great recession and covid which changed everything for a few years each. Like you're focused on wrong fry, small fry, and taking it out of context. Obama? Guess what Obama learned from Gore? That running on an environmental policy was a losing proposition. He focused on health care. His thanks for that was to lose the house for the next 6 years. Guess the left didn't want anything for 6 years of his presidency.

Every time they run on an environmental policy, they lose. Every time they implement an environmental policy, they lose. And you're amazed they aren't gun ho about it? Like they just lost despite the green energy in the IRA. And Trump won with drill baby drill. Do you think Dems will run on it next time? Fuck no they won't. They won't touch it with 10 foot pole. They will run on "It's the economy, stupid." If you want environmental policy, you need to give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
