    Trump is bad for the environment and Biden is bad for the environment.

    They’re not equally bad though. This is a case of not letting perfection be the enemy of the good.

      not letting perfection be the enemy of the good

      The Earth catching on fire and all life on it ceasing to exist, but 1 year later, is not “good”.

      If you think Biden is “good” on the environment, I suggest you read literally anything on Climate Change and see what scientists actually propose. Hint: Biden isn’t even talking about doing any of them, let alone doing them.

        I don’t see how worse is going to help though. I would say one would let the free market handle it but its shown he will actually incentivze drilling. The other will at least incentive renewables. I mean what is good at this point? We know that nothing currently being proposed will eliminate it. Its all mitigation at best. I will go for some mitigation rather than lets ignore and step on the gas pedal.
