    Almost like a war broke out that cut America’s allies off from their usual stocks of oil and raising prices globally including on non-oil-product goods or something!

    Wanna gripe? Gripe in context.

      I wasn’t griping and understand the context.

      But that just underscores the idea that even if Al Gore had taken office there’s no telling what his climate legacy would have been.

          That is not at all what they said and you should be fucking embarrassed. They were saying that electing gore in 2000 wouldn’t have (necessarily) prevented Putin from invading Ukraine. But I think you probably understand that. You’re just being a piece of shit.

            My point is that even while pretending to acknowledge context they’re trying to throw it in the bin.

            Not my fault that there’s only so nice a way to point out that what someone’s trying to base their argument on is horseshit.

          You’re needlessly antagonistic.

          Gore would have had to respond to events, including drilling more oil which would undermine his climate efforts.

          What I’m saying is presidents live in the real world like the rest of us and make decisions they don’t want.
